Woe Unto America! (Part 1) Poem by DM W

'Woe unto America! '
Exclaim the urban prophets:
In rapt graffiti visions.

Woe unto America,
With its Wild West delusions.

Woe unto America,
With its serpentine systems of surveillance.

All hail America,
And its search lights forever focused on the human insect mound.

All hail America,
And its global, mass marketing monopolies.

All hail America! ,
And its endless narcissistic dreaming.

God bless America,
And its bovine Super bowl chauvinism.

God bless America,
And its angelic exceptionalism.

All hail America!
And its hypnotic media:
That strives to control the public mind.

All hail America!
And its sound bite psychosis.

All hail America,
And its mindless, mercenary armies
Of talk show hosts & quick fix therapists.

All hail America,
And its atomisation of sacred consciousness.

Woe unto America,
As it silences the messengers of the redemptive Light.

Woe unto America,
With its lost, bloated pilgrims devouring the rose pink splendour of the dawn.

God bless America,
And its day glo democratic circus.

God bless America,
And its elaborate pantomimes of self pity

God bless America,
And its cartoon illusions of the good life

God bless America! ,
And its celluloid fantasies of fake heroes & villains

All hail America,
And its rank hypocrisy.
