political poetry
call this political poetry!
let Mayakovsky applaud!
but still, the television talks.
glowing faces giving names,
searching, scraping for the game.
i could live off hate all day.
who must feel shame, CNN?
who’s my enemy, Fox?
but let your voices mute, let
the dead glow die…
they all say so much, while
silence never let me down.
