We Make War on Our Poets in the USA

*****

Phosgene is illegal
Even in pitched warfare
Even tiny doses
We are now aware
Cause immediate fibrosis
When mixed with our air

But its okay with us
Yes, we give it play,
When it is a poet
Who gets in our way
With inconven’ent truthfulness,
Twenty times a day
