Camping
is supposed to be
for people who are on
vacation, not the homeless.
High rents
can toss you out
of buildings, and into
tents, but so can bombers.
There are
camps for the
summer, and there
are concentration camps.
You are
in the open air,
& yet still, you are
trapped, just like rats.
Rows of
tents replace
the homes of Gaza.
Zion’s a cruel landlord.
There is
no magic
in a hat
to cause
a freezing man
to come
to life. Hats
cannot warm
a head sitting
on frozen
shoulders out
where he has no arms
for work, a chest with no
heart to feel any happiness,
no home for him to enter.
He has no legs to walk in
from the cold. White Christmas
makes his body black in a lack of
hope. His only warmth is melting
in the spring and dying outside.
We see but don’t feed him.
The bombs
that went
down on
Cambodia
were a thought
that came
from
you
.
The coup
that took
down left
S. Allende
was a scheme
that came
from
you
.
Your pet
Pinochet
let fall,
out of
helicopters,
victims
in the
sea
.
You’ve
never
bowed
down
remorsefully
for even a
single
sin
.
This all
explains
why your
new home
should forever
be down in
Hell.

The upper classes
are kept up by the middle classes,
who are scared of dropping to the lower classes.
The wealthy
should be lowered to the middle,
so that we can bring the poor up from their misery.
The super-rich
will never be brought down,
so the poor must rise up to take them down.
The establishment of a temporary workers’ state
can equalize us by keeping a tight leash
on the rich, stopping their rise;
then the capable
can produce all of the things
that everyone needs, down to the neediest.
Love
your
neigh-
bour,
as the rabbi on the cross said.
For if you don’t love, then you
will
burn
from
your
hate
in a
dark
hole.
When
your
neigh-
bour
has dark skin, though, you don’t
need to worry about the rules. Go
burn a
cross
on his
lawn &
pray
that
he’ll
move.
Remember
when the
set time,
only two
minutes
ticking,
kept us
from a
doom

“Take

they say when

but
who
notices
when their paws

our
flesh, and always
stay
