Gore Vidal Is Wrong, This Place Is Not Broken


Gore Vidal is Wrong, This Place is Not Broken

where is the reality
TV show about soldiers
coming home getting
a big house and two
new legs

where are the senators
who have read
the Constitution

where are the citizens
who know enough about
science to say hold
the presses

where are the journalists
that believe in
the freedom of the press

where are the women
tired of their bodies
being under the domain
of religious fanatics

where are the CEO’s
who feel ashamed
with a bonus of
several million
when employees lose
their pension plan

where are the countries
fed up with a rogue nation
banging the war drum

this place is not broken
we are fucked
