in my lifetime it's only been
the pundits like Chris Hedges
the outlaws like Hunter S Thompson
the outsiders
who have questioned the
corporate oligarchy that

but if you're compassionate?

independent

I was a baby boomer
and thought the revolution

the new generation
and now the slander will begin
namecalling

crazy
bullets of words
and maybe
actual ones?
power is intransigent
sick
entrenched
corporate
uncaring
what happens now
reveals
how sick
our democracy really is
how sick
we really are
here in...
