The untamed, the cultured and civilized
gone wild, hungry for power, rise
out of the cornfields and the canyons
of big city streets, from behind camo
curtains to poach another prize beyond
the reach of more common men and
women if they can—stars on their own sets
that upset the rest of us. That we envy wealth
and freedom, independence—the quick buck
gained by deceit as standard practice
for capitalists and politicians. Take down
the statues of Robert E. Lee, a horseback,
we have models of our own to cast
and enshrine in every city square
for our poor youth to look up to.
