Big Boy
成吉思汗
We don’t consider Genghis Khan, except
In Ulaanbaatar. Mongols carved his form
In limestone on a hillside. They have swept
Aside his murders( from his raging storm
Across the continent). Instead they make
A sentimental image of a horse
And conqueror to trick us into fake
Respect because the sculpture has the force
Of hugeness. This equestrian pretense,
…..
The largest mount ever, is supposed to
Distract us from the slaughtering’s blood offense
And dull us to all we are opposed to.
His empire was the largest ever known.
Big bad stuff grows when boys get overblown.
