Bullfight in memory of e. e. cummings the Confederate Flag (O say can you see it, see if you can O say can you see it, not if by plan) reminds me of a bullfight, the Matador (if it reminds you of slavery, I understand but it reminds me of the Matador, the killer who covers all pRoof with a red, red flag) who communal think who shaper of souls who magician who sleight of hand who gives what he wants to give who takes what you can not have who gives you his word hiding the “s” in his hand the Matador (so you think with his wisdom or his wallet right on schedule don’t you see it) fed(up) era l(awe) guvmeant which held those truths in the palm of its hand then clenched its fist at some silent command the Matador (who sank the Lusitania who let the Japs bomb Pearl who crashed the Towers hear ye hear ye) people of the guvmeant by the guvmeant for the guvmeant which shouldn't be built, will the Matador take you to the hilt? |

repeat: in memory of e.e. cummings. the confederate flag, like the matador, i see the horror from both sides, the bull stabbed for what (i want my mtv), the apocalyptic terror, the might makes right, the trail of tears, pol pot, the armenians, rwanda, as long as they don look like us, isis(or whatever-the-fuck), u.s. dollars and hacking, god's chosen people, always on our side. we are the guvmeant, we are definitely them. i love the matador whoever i chose him to be. a perfect post. thanks!
