Poetry and Violence--Take 2
Sing Muse Sing Loud of the blood the blood the blood the blood done signed
my name sing as you sang of spilt Trojan and Achaian guts spattering the
Plains of Troy git dat beat and bring it on down to the corner of Fair and
Lee avenue where Crip kills da blood da blood da blood sing with the voice
o' My Daddy song of Samson in the ringing lilt of African American King
James that poem of blessed slaughter of Yahweh's holy water sprung form the
hollow place in that jaw to refresh the anointed slayer even De Good Lawd
doth approve of the blood the blood the bloood and the shedding race pulses
and dance to the skirling of the war pipes it's Spring at last campaign
season chant chant chant let your bullets fall like June rain let the graves
spring up like April flowers sing of anger without cause burning hellfire
sing sing laws of retributiion exectuion springs the nation to its feet at
attention rockets redglare bombs bursting in air spew verses like shrapnel
from the cannons mouth sing an ode in salute to Noodle McVeigh the mushroom
clouds of poems when the next nut sets of the nukes in his suitcase get it
down on paper kill it purge my soul Our Savior for us he died bids us drink
his blood from zounds in his side lick the blood the blood the blood
dripping from his thorny crown praise violence on high as American as cherry
pie
