SPECIOUS SHRUBS

David Lawrence

Evil becomes the dominant gene and goodness
Is recessive.
Love fails to find its resolve
And truth is lost in a maze of specious shrubs.
You see,
A Democrat is a waffling thing,
A paltry whiff,
A failed instinct,
A hero fallen from grace,
A Yeatsian allusion or John Kerry on a surfboard.

If a blind man could see the pluralistic scum
On the other side of sightlessness
He would reproduce
His negativity towards liberals without borders
And their failure to build walls or fences of morals
Without murals.
