our crazy nation
the world ran mad so many times
in America. i remember the day
Kennedy died on Onassi's lap,
lennon sprayed with bullets,
the country ran wild with tears
and melancholic songs.
but when had we not? this very
nation had always been built
on somebody else's blood and sweat
that inspired tears.
remember father Lincoln and his
upright quest in freeing the slaves.
he too was murdered. And Martin
Luther King? how blood thirsty
we had been towards our selfless leaders.
i have learnt to take things
in my stride lest my heart
should stop in this pot of cranks,
crooks, misfits, hypocrites and self-professed world savers.
the fall of the Twin Towers
raised just some of my hair as
crazier thing had happened in
this land of the free. i joined
Michael Jackson as he laughed
through the streets on child molest charges.
