Home Sweet Home

America, America, our America, devious and in denial
the land of profits, prisons, and privation
billionaires and international assassinations
and corporate opiate drug corporations
that kill more than the cartels
where jails, prisons, and nursing homes are all
assisted death facilities that bear the brunt of the pandemic
with the collusion of local, state, and federal authorities
Where the unemployed are evicted, criminalized and
fed to the death machines, and history retells the shameful
comedy of incompetence and greed as a heroic success
that could only happen in America in our America,
dying, divided, and duplicitous to the bitter end
