My Country
Boundaries lay stacked
through perimeters of grassy patches
ritualistic blazes spread
with hazy air making
the flowery bundles of trees
look like a blur
the old and wise click their spoons
as the young play their cards
of lust toward the pretty Madame
who yearns for more behind the back
of who they wed
called for rain
heaves past the intersecting hills
as glowing trees blacken through the muck
spoons get slick and blazing branches are smoldered
the wise
the young
the pretty
must go in for the night
but still the lovers swander the night away
in houses filled with wretched dirt
as moaning daughters
leave their men to tuck in the children
a wise one struts in soaked britches
with spoons tucked away in the pockets
purity behold my country
thats all
but thou shall leave these homes
to rest
