inauguration ( January 20,2017)

this inauguration, a
disclosure of  uncontrolled
frustration, the rising
of an ego balloon

filled with violence,
unreflected opinions,
unfortunately not
of this one man alone

but with the smoldering
helplessness of  many
whose chase for happiness
has become homeless,

turned into an obsession
to build fences against
fear, sour with blindness,
hatred, burning scapegoats

to the roar of 5000
motorbikes, and the
red faced bully standing
on Capitol Hill, a scarecrow,

they clap for him, America
growing a risk, a cancer
for freedom, mothers, the young
who will be called to arms

to fight for stupid ideas,
they must kill other young
men with stupid ideas,
guard illusionary borders

and black, brown and yellow
must disguise as white men
or perish in the exile of silence.
And who will control

this loud man if not the rich
behind all politics, the
real powers in charge
with their lobbies, their clowns,

their grey men, they know
how to put down angry
men who start big
and to make them fall small,

sometimes hit by bullets
or choking on their passion
with a heart attack, a convenient
stroke, or can he be

a leader in the clockwork
of industry, weapon sales,
mining and the greed for oil?
would he ever motivate

his people and set them free?
there will be no such thing,
i see shame coming as it must.
bone oracles shake with terror,

predicting injustice, prisons,
wars, death and indifference
to poverty, to handicaps,
drawn curtains and noisy

salutes, volleys of shots
mixing with the national anthem
for even dogs to bawl and bellow
by threat of capital punishment .

i don't like to speak
on politics, on politicians,
i choke on the slime, the lies,
but-i am worried too....
