Carter, from the Pessimist's Corner

by JustnufJoe@aol.com


 To Carter:
 
 Angel of Death
 Smiling messenger of defeat
     for lost causes
 So sincere,
 Sure in the rightness of your reformed
      capitalism
 Unpaid spokesperson for the new, improved
      imperialism
 
 Deep-immersion Baptist, you
 cock your head to the side
 with a winning grin
 as you hold us under the cold, cold water
 a long, long time
 
 Self-appointed Movement mortician
 With your needle at the ready
 How can we resist that big buck-toothed  skull's grin
 as you replace our blood
 with those sterile chemicals
 and put us away?
 
 The cure, as they say
 is worse than the disease
 What really hurts
 is that you think
 it's good for us.
