Sinkhole--A Poem

Why tell me
to get with it
and say the em word
you goats' balls
you cock suckers
you extreme nationalists
confused
racists
ignoramuses

or just plain spineless when

there is no more E and W Germany
only Germany

when the USSR is now Russia again

Petrograd St Petersburg--

Stalingrad--don't know what it's called now.

When there's no more N and S Vietnam

and China is socialist in name only

now

a practicing market economy with the central committee making all the decisions?

Think about it.

Why is there a shortage of women in China.

Why is Burma or yes, the em place, a source of trafficked women and children

jade timber you name it.

Shall we call it the place where one was born but could not live
the place where they misuse Buddhism
the place with more than 1 million internally displaced

the place that does not like popular people

the place that wants to sit on you

the land of the caudillo like Pinochet

the disappeared like Chile

the military junta

the eff place

the hell hole

the uneven distribution of income

the land grabs

the prostitute nation named by Aung San--

and so on and so forth.

The dictatorship.

Just a place

but so full of

evil
injustice
power
environmental degradation
moral corruption
dust
mud
pagodas
starving children.

call it what you want or wish

it does not change things

unless

you want something

from that regime.

What's in a name.

A sinkhole by any other name

would still stink

and

sink.

Sink.
