the buzz.

by Jared Fladeland

kiss the king kindly;
wrapped around wings, whispers
toppled with tragic transfigurations.

talking over therapeutic tea
about every asinine agenda
ever imagined. Entire enterprises

focused on fictional facts,
dramatic statements dealing directly
with ignorant wise-crack whimpers.

god bless gold, granite
monuments surpassing memories, making
heroes from homespun habitual

liars. Such large, looming
ominous clouds over our
capitol building, completely corrupt.

Nicely said Jared! May the lightening in those ominous clouds scare the hell out of those inside so that they feel inclined to work for the people not on the people.

Great stuff, loved this line, "making heros from homespun habitual liars"
