No, the pride-fatal East

does not gospel

the beautiful mind;

it parents pampering dross.



In the moss-freed North,

moral greed and sacred lust

birthmark  billions; thus, so soon

"In God We Trust."



In the ghost-justified South,

love, or a false facsimile,

is a dead madam snoring

in the heat of the night.



In the brass-plated West,

the empire of envy,

wizards and witches inflate

microchips of paradise lost.



Yes, the blood-tortured Midwest,

corn-fed and wheat-weighted,

is a pristine land-whale

chewing the cud of gluttony.
