fear of america
john sweet
not poetry exactly but anger poured onto paper as churches burn and abortion clinics explode and young men are buried in shallow graves for refusin orders
a fear of america where five thousand children disappear each year
where most turn up dead or not at all
and someone was paid to gather these facts
and someone else to publish the report
and someone else to read it on the radio as i drive april to work on thursday morning
this is
how fucking civilized we are
