Coming to America

The CorpWhoreRations are trying to
land back
on our shores
The Second Tide of White
Greed come back
with hand, with hat
Stretched out like the Prodigal Father
returned to the arms of his
starving homeless orphans.
When he sails by Lady Liberty
Do you think he gets on one knee and
begs forgiveness,
gives her some jewelry,
slides his hand under her dress
To get a little feel of freedom...to see if the fields are still fertile
enough to grow blood turnips?
squeeze us again in your arms and wrap a boa (constrictor) around our necks
bedeck us in bling and bitches and riches and three lattees a day
so we remember who you wanted us to be
open your mouths
good little consumers
Daddy is coming home.

If I had my way
and when you roll up on the boat,
I'd turn you right back around and say
"We have enough of your kind here"
