American Centerfielders (On the Cusp of Election 2000)

Look, baby. It’s the wanna-bee purple people lovers
Picking pretty promises
Before fall

They breathe in each other (ah mintily refreshing)

And wander
Lust on
The ripeness of a new-democrat party animals
and compassionate conservatives

They are Dream
Catchers
In the Rye

And after all, “Imagine” is a song sung by a dead man, right?

How beautiful

Are they, as they
Dance in the eye of the storm

Republi-cants
are
Eying
Sore
Loosers

Sure shot
Guns
Blazing

With moderate half-truths.

Swing votes hey-batta, batta
Left!
No! Right! NO!
Center it,
stupid!
Good, now aim
High!,

expectations
dashed.
Bull’s
eye
Mr. President!
It is time for Bush, the sequel.

yes those wanna-bees (buzz) kill.
who still believe
in
centralized intelligence
tests
rainbow coalitions
for the people, but not with them

a chicken
nugget in every pot

and

under every rock
you crawl from under
there is a BIG, BLACK voting BLOCK
Trick or treat!

Will justice
Ever come when sally walker doesn’t have the fare to
Ride the freedom bus ‘til her feet are blistered
Meanwhile Michael Jordan
Rows
The love boat ashore
cashing in dividends
From corporate captains
“We’ll just have to find another ten year old
who can appreciate thirty cents an hour!”

But on the flipside
Those church going In God WE Trust wanna-bees
Who in the Hell Left The Dollar Bill Gates
OPEN?
Hallelujah! Thank You, Lord!
Jesus Saves Tech Stocks!

Hey you know what would really sell?
Put Puff Daddy’s public enemy
number
“One, One, One”
On the best sellers list so that everyday America can think
Everybody is living la vida loca
Like me and Mrs. Jones!
But of course WE feel your pain,
We cried you a river
By the way,
You can swim,
Jamal ,Joey, Jun ,Juanita!
You ghetto- “fabulous
darlings!”
Cant you?


Hey, Is that your final answer?


Those WANNA-BEES
Convicted of first degree
murder for
a Higher
Power than the People
this election year.


The
New world order
Wouldn’t
Be quite the same without them

BUT WE fought a poor man’s war
In sprit
Right?
Hand washing the left
We performed middle class miracles
Let no child be left behind
Right?
hand washing the left
in the belly of the BUSH
Right hand washing the left

Performing Non-Partisan Sideshows
………with Negroes!
While Chanting
No more GORE in Hollywood
Go-meatless!

Yes I’m sick of being stung by those wanna-bee blood suckers
Former right, left-wingers
With broken stingers
Who think
that I don’t know
a caged truth from a free lie
