RKS Poetry Anthology: “Merry Christmas”

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliterature, PoetryTags:, , ,

Merry Christmas

A lukewarm bottle of beer

Or two

Or three

Just to ease into the propagated spirit

And a can of beans with mock turkey loaf

Climaxed with Johnny Carson

On the fucked up black and white

The gifts of life from Christ working in the aftershave department

Blessing of the meek with Mastercard

And the disciples of bill collectors crusading in his name

Tumorous tomorrows

The happy lechery of life

Smashed in the barrages from the artillery of lies

Constructed in the armament factories

Of technocratic trawler monsters

Netting misery and profits

Canning and distributing false consciousness

For legions of Park Avenue aspirers

But the peaks are already

Auschwitzed

even

prior the departure of the expedition
