a poem by Douglas I. Thompson (1 of 2)
The Death of America
The death of America
is a Kevorkian death
a suicide of infants
grown old too soon
Depraved, self-loathing
imbeciles of the 1960's
the reek of failure & the
madness of a generation
Defacing the effigies of
saints & performing
botched abortions on
the minds of the young
The death of America
is the slow ebb
of all that is holy
in a cruel & desolate land
is a Kevorkian death
a suicide of infants
grown old too soon
imbeciles of the 1960's
the reek of failure & the
madness of a generation
saints & performing
botched abortions on
the minds of the young
is the slow ebb
of all that is holy
in a cruel & desolate land
