Fake Views a la Oedipus
America is throbbing with those who
Have thrown away the truth, have stabbed their eyes
Out. Misery of coveting shoots through
What used to be their heartblood. They breathe lies
And when they do not get enough, a mouth
Produces more, crude lips below a blond
Coiffure of harshness speaking hate. The South
Must rise again from Scarlett’s slimy pond
Where pets like alligators wait to shred
In hope. They do not dream. Their reptile fangs
Lie waiting, prejudices underfed.
Their Satan hisses teasings with hoax bangs.
The claques of people loathing history
Choose propaganda’s poisoned mystery.
