The Eagle

You are American! Luxury,

You’re freedom.

The freedom to spread your wings

and be sentient and pescatarian. 

It’s liberty it’s life it’s the pursuit of 

kissing your wife and your

Secretary, and she’s vegetarian. 

But you scream- and that’s the most 

important thing and I mean the bleak, 

Fleeting pipe dream that you preach.

Do you scream to preach?
Is that just what they tell us? 

Are you really free?
Do you mean to tell me that the range

your wings take up in the sky are the

Instruments of the deranged gun

lovers and the pacifists and both their mothers?

How can you represent the voice 

of many men and few women and

The Church?
How are you really free? 

And why do you screech?

You’re freedom of speech

And the endless gun fire but not on 

all the tired, overplayed men that

decide who can have groceries 

and healthy gums and desires. 

Are you really free?

Do you fly in circles to catch prey

and pray the our father and 

pretend not to be gay?

Are you really free?

Will you touch me?
