Mourn in the USA

If the first ten minutes ~
And every minute ~ of your day
Bring actual poison
And torture into play

If hovering round you
Horrid demons lurk
Making fun of every moment
Rest and play and work,

Making fun of every little
Motion that you ever make
Every indecision
Every small mistake

If they aim their pocket
EMP at you
Causing pain, device restart,
And kiosk malfunction too

If prominent value
In your culture’s giv’n to hate
Hate, hate, hate, hate, hatred
Early, long and late

If you’re breathing chromium,
Arsenic and tear gas
And eating poisoned food as well,
Then it’s clear, my lass

You are welcome never
In this world to find your place~
You are a master poet
And you live in the United States
