Don’t pretend 

the sun

               If empathy

is not full of pain - 

do not

               is prophecy, and democracy

tell me

your political incontinence

               needs a schoolyard,

and impotence

have anything

               and demagoguery

to do

with anything - what’s your economic

               forms 

plan?  What a fucking

shame.  You won

               out of a need

because of us, not in spite of us, but your

pathetic

               to believe in something

outlook

can’t figure it.  Subject

               when the crops are dyin’,

popular

policies

               then don’t piss on me

to ruthless platitudes, 

and you, my friend,

               and call it rain.

will rue the day.
