Democracy for One

When the bombs come

ones-twos-threes like little

 ducklings trailing along in

the pond’s flat gaze, seemingly

 never ending; surface to air

missed. The screaming mono-

 linguistic tongue, turned on deafened

friends who shrug, as capitalist

 bobble head Jesus, nods

and waves, then with an indifferent

 side turn, stares vacant;

as the proud suckling tit

 withers, Madam Liberty’s

flamed-out.
