AND LEAD US
NOT
by Fast
Eddie
let us not worry
excessively
over those who must
die
if they die it is
Fate
and if they must be
taken
all the way down
below
it is the devil’s
work
neat and
absolutely.
let us not worry
overmuch
over the bankers, the brokers, the
speculators
wheel-barrowing home
millions
and
billions
physics is
physics
and what rolls nicely
is
least friction
absolute.
very neat and very
simply.
and, last but not
least,
let us not worry over
malcontents.sissies, and liberal pinko
weirds
who claim altogether
extravagantly
we have no
business
doing this war, or being right
here
where we are,
either.
we follow gen.
Sherman
James Monroe, and the robt. e.
lee
we have
business
and nothing but
business
move out fellow
warriors;
the Iraqi coat is
clear.

Shoot
first
by Pano
Douvos
Rumors are ricochetting who
knows
how
credible
barbers report great strangeness
afoot
nightly lights blaze in north Idaho
caves
spotting much activity of a furtive
kind
mad survivalists hot at their
drawing boards
design top-heavy monster
mansions
crenelated fortresses for those in
the know
add-ons proliferate moats
draw-bridges
you
choose
gun-ports for AK’s or cannons
optional
also bullet-proof SUV’s
for gun-store visits as
Idaho cavemen busily
create super-SUV’s
double-decked like
red London buses with
rope ladders
retractable against boarding
hordes
safety-assured travel for
pennies extra
machete clad hub-caps for
historic look
extra security pays great
dividends
or do you want to lose
Philadelphia
Dubya can’t hide his
truth
launch bombs now or its
Armageddon
shoot
first
ask questions later
