these days
i hear a particular
bell
going off in my head
as the Neocon West
and the
feudal?
East
send increasingly
precise
echoes
of each other's
narcissism
(stolen elections
disappearings
enforced religion)
which ought to be a
yin yang instantiation
but that they're both black
and getting blacker
and if i ask
which side willed this?
it seems neither did
W is a puppet
ObL is a puppetphobe
the war on terror a puppet show
to distract us as
our pockets are picked
our values cheapened
