Horray! (commemorating the election of Barack Obama
Posted Under: poetry
Looks like Obama won….Horray!
Horray for unilaterally attacking Pakistan or Iran! I can’t wait for permanent winter! Horray for another four years of genocidal embargoes! Horray for the captivity of the Palestinian people! Horray for illegal wiretapping! Horray for torture! Horray for the wealthy 9/11 terrorists still in the Pentagon
Change? Hell yes!
Guess what else? Barack Obama shits congealed rose petals and cinnamon!
Horray for democracy! Horray for the executable programs on electronic voting machine memory cards that corporate representatives can access in the middle of an election! Horray for the choice between Royal Gala and Golden Delicious apples! America chooses apples for a change because we’re weary of apples!
Horray for infinite inflation! Horray for the tightening of the Money Monopoly! Horray for debt with interest to be repaid with paper loaned on interest!
Americans are interested in getting to the bottom of serious problems plaguing this world, like war. You betcha! That’s why they voted for a man that promises to expand the regional war into Pakistan! On who will continue to glad-hand the friendly faction of the House of Saud! Horay for public beheadings! Horray for peace, but keep crankin’ out them bombs, baby!
Horray for billions of subsidies for the storage of nuclear waste just above the water table! Horray for acid rain! Horray for Inuits eating radioactive whale flesh! Horray for polar bear rugs in the air-conditioned offices of oil executives! The last ten thousand are free!
Horray for the money launderers that wash liferaft capital for Wall Street! Horray for the record opium harvest since the ouster of the Taliban! Horray for the Columbian paramilitary death squads that smuggle cocaine and kill squatters on behalf of American fruit companies!
Tonight Americans voted for change they can believe in! Horray for slogans ending in prepositions!
My asshole smells richly of orange peel and crushed coriander! Believe it!
Horray for the media monopoly that made this day possible! We believe in the television like we believe in gravity, the inevitability and the sum of two and two: five! That’s why Barack Obama is change we can believe in!
Horray for deception, hypocrisy, corruption, the illusion of democracy and alcohol!
Sleep well, fellow Americans! Ignore the foxes guarding the coop! Keep believing and at least you’ll get some sleep!
Ignore the legions of homeless in Minnesota! Ignore the overflowing penitentiaries operating for profit! Ignore the signatures of controlled demolition scawled on the face of the president-elect!
Keep dreaming, America and it will come true, as long as you remain asleep!
