FIORELLA'S FAVORITES and SOME NEW ONES

America, bow your head in shame

Ethnic cleansing is the name of the game--

     Clear out the black, the yellow, the brown

     Run gays and their kindred out of town

     Ridicule the halt, the blind, the lame

     And do unto those who sorrow the same--

     Jail the actors, the artists, the press

     Silence the women and make them a jest

     Reject the migrants or throw them in jail

     Allow graft and cronyism to prevail--

In short, go after anyone who

Doesn't talk or think or look like you--

An automaton of self-fed hate

Which no force on earth can ameliorate

                L'envoi to "Blind"

     In the theater of the mind

     The unremitting reels unwind,

     Horrors ceaselessly replay,

     Obscuring now for yesterday--

            In the theaters of the mind

             Eyes that see too much go blind

 Why do I have trouble 

 Finding a new rhyme?

 The letters fly about me

 Every day and time--

     But where is the dart

     That will envelope my heart?
