Golden White Purity

Gerald George

he posseseth a Wall
a wide wall known as the Wall-Against-Them
he has builded it in starts-and-fits    here-and-there    now-and-then
it keepeth out the horrible hordes who come all the time
great hordes of them come howling out of the sand

sometimes he seems to be wearing his Great Wall
he waddles around in its vast expanse
it makes him mammoth pure by keeping all of them out
his purity asserts against the hordes

sometimes he sitteth atop his Wall
he throws the great hordes back across his river
also over his ocean he throweth them back

golden white is he
golden hair combed over lifted up
a great flag flutters high behind him forever
the sky is all red-white-and-blue

from atop his Great Wall he sees golden white judges
he calls out to them heavy with purity    “O judges
watch out for murderers rapists all of them”
from atop his Wall he sees cages in which he keeps
sand-colored children     these are the lucky ones

he wideneth his Wall     he extendeth it forever
he will become forever known for his ever greater Wall
he waddles atop it white with purity
great    pure    white    golden
his Wall    it will never fail
it will never fall
