Doublespeak: Four By Six
DOUBLESPEAK
It’s a dangerous world
Or so the News tells us
Looking for terrorists?
Check out the Pentagon
Sick At Heart (7a)
SICK AT HEART
All the signs
Erupting pustules
Orlando
Las Vegas
Middle East a sarcoma
It’s clearly Stage Four

USA USA USA You Were Saying?

USA USA USA YOU WERE SAYING?
These self-appointed slick lords
Never as cool as they’d like
Foreverly seeking applause
In the forever even dragons
Left entertaining archons
Have demons of their own
Riding the American nightmare
Jet and ivory – non consensual
The wizard is behind your eyes
In the absence of actual presence
The child imagines companions
Drums up sugar plum fairies or …
Pays for encore after encore
Ends up head in a basket
Soul sold to the soulless
Carries on, on and on resonating
Aleatorically, unapologetically
Their cross to bear
