The American Dream
©2003 Bryan D. Wilhite
The streets of L.A. are packed like a slave ship
but luxuriant is the stench of refined dinosaur shit.
Donner Party sports utility vehicles
abstract the cannibalism
but it’s the old Roman Piece
the ass-kicking feudalism:
How can I Romance my Valentine
without polluting the Earth?
How can I travel among the corporate castles
without fossil-fueled girth?
How can I bust the block like a sleek fire bomber?
How can I conceal the poverty of my peasant lumber stock?
I want to be obese and muscles like the most obscene Frankish Baron.
I want the favor and the burden of the most useless beautiful women.
The Earth itself is inferior to my cool, Western exterior.
We came to this free country so I can be King.
I can do any… thing.
The West id the best.
The West id the best.
Love it or leave it.
