damn the nation

damn the nation!
hail to the chief!

for the president––
the white house is a
power trophy
to impress himself
& strut his
ego

for the anarchist-in-
chief––
the moment to
crumple the social
order
down to its
roots

for the republicans––
the chance to taste
the unadulterated power they
craved so long
& reward their rich
patrons with
oceans & continents of
plunder

finally there’s the
1%––
the faceless
plutocracy––
the rich patrons––
they don’t care
how they take their
money––
as long as there’s
a lot of it
& they keep it
ALL

no one’s left
who gives a damn
about the people––
about the country––
about the constitution––
about the existence-or-
non-existence of
the earth––
as long as they get
their personal needs
met

damn the nation!
hail to the chief!
