the rising scum

watching an election campaign in the US
is like watching the scum rise in a heated garbage can
that has sat out behind a restaurant all night
after a downpour filled it up to the brim---
with all the horrid smelling trash floating around the surface
in no particular direction---
one notices a plethora of little bits of filth & miniscule debris
all swirling round,
like the explosive diarrhea expelled out of
an american politician’s mouth
when the going is getting tough &
the name of the game is to sling the dirt
in order to taint the opponent’s image,
as if any of them were ever clean from the
blood & shit they began to wallow in
when beginning to rise on the political ladder
through a sequence of sodomy, blow jobs &
constantly taking part in murderous oppression
via all the parties that put moola in their pockets
on the way to the white house---
so now we watch the two Repugnants
fighting it out like cocks in a cock fight
digging, scratching,
biting & bleeding---
all for the sake of power
all for the sake of
making large decisions
that will reverberate throughout the 21st century,
affecting us all, but including
not
a
one---
and our necks are gripped tight
by the hands of the same vultures that feast on the
deaths that the US military continues to bring,
by the hands of the same vultures that fill their pockets
with the money that could actually help out our domestic population
by the hands of the same vultures who are responsible for the last economic crisis &
who will be responsible for the next &
by the hands of the same property owning white boys that have run this country
since they sat down to write the constitution 225 years ago.
