they will all read this aloud
gun sounds
repeating rounds
mass bolting from the starting blocks
tanking of financial stocks
the race to the NY Times
prime time booking
plugging their lamps into every conservative news outlet
everyone looking
until their midnight light shines over every Gotham City
my god
even Batman thinks it pretty
then comes the screams
how can I write this piece of slanderous diatribe?
I am such a verminous scribe
delete this from every textbook in school with the quickness
do not infect our vulnerable young with this sickness
remembering old Hollywood movie times taking liberty with every script
the truth never really matters
as long as the ticket sales are strong
opening night comes with limousines
lean
black and long
pretty stars and red velvet ropes and carpet
jewelry
so glittery
but silly me
I just write what the statistics say
reporting the news facts from colonial times
up until noon today
just reporting what I see and saw
leaks from the Supreme Court
the last straw drawn from the
rich white men
who also drew black ink from the very first pen
founded and perpetuated the situation we are now all in
so don't blame me for reporting the news
if their conscience has the blues
don't look at me
and this here factual write
it will be soon enough
again
that they will redistrict my hood
so my vote won't count
and I will be three fifths of a man again
ain't I right?
so
it's not enough that they will do anything to regain their
so called rightful
electorate power
the rich white men
will change laws by the hour
such a secretive sort
God wannabes
behind black robes on the supreme court
take away her voice
take away her choice to have or to have or to abort
don't get a chance to speak to the
rich white men
more angry at the congressional leak
than the choice they want to eliminate
and
the rich white men
better not discretely
secretly
impregnate their mistresses and concubines
with nowhere
and no place for them to abort
them little ones will be their
not mines
but hey
they can disagree with what is reported on this poetic newscast
them that started out first
will somehow
eventually
cross the finish line last
just be careful what you wish for
and Pandora’s box
may not eventually be
the cup of hot tea
they sip from their expensive China
always a dangerous thing
when
rich white men
mess with the
everyday vagina
