to the president

why do you kill? who gives you your funding? do you count the dead bodies, stolen resources, missing people at the end of your day? your week? when the cameras are on and the teleprompter is warm how do the lies feel leaving your mouth? who do your wars benefit? what voices remind you you are human? could you destroy with your own hands? are your golf clubs, ivy league diplomas, applauding and pleased white supporters swallowers of your guilt? if your home was uprooted, ransacked, your wife no louder than the backthroat of force and rape, your children mangled, your family blacklisted, no meal, no bread, no clean water, your name disjointed to shame--- how would you live? close your eyes. breathe slowly. smoke or skin? singed hair or bloodied metal? Tell us about the american dream.
