So Now

I understand media coverage
Of Operation Liberation or Destroy
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Or Secure Oil for American Programs
Has dimmed by comparison to
Disney's reruns of Gas Mask Mickey
Saving Minnie from the Goof's
Tail wagging the shaggy dog.

We don't need to worry about
Peace marches or protests against
World Trade Organizations
Gap financing of the industrial elite's
Power mongering Tax war against
Medical marijuana and drug
laundering
World financiers manufacturing
Poison armaments for all sides of
Slow burning controlled conflicts
While death row darkies
Lack voice even tho Connie Rice
Is our own African Princess,
Colin Powell our King, and
George Dubya
Is saving the environment
For peak oil exploration.
Even if it means all the ducks
Will be slimed and fish speckled
With leprosy He says
Even the mad cow
Boys get the blues when
Hunting season's shortened.

So now if war is hell
How do we get to heaven?
