Orange Youth
Talking to their phones like lovers instead of on them asked to draw a picture of a telephone stand they draw a one legged man with a smart phone in hand wishing they had something to eat instead of grandma’s pantyhose and wish they had a mansion but live in rented drywall boxes with a book on Hitler as a pillow and dead puppies for blankets shot by insane fame seeking politicians who pay orange mouthpieces to unleash the dogma of hopes for a day everybody looks exactly the same and speaks from one single tongue even though they have no money because they give everything to orange grove owners who sell them off to feed wars on newspapers and neighborhoods they need for golden toilets and bronze statues of Caiphas and Pilate while waving gold plated crucifixes and autographed upside down bibles used in the last photographed opportunity for hate nevertheless maggots recreate to turn into flies with green spineless bodies that eat feces dropped from an artificial intelligence in the back of an alley where close hangers are bloodied from the babies the orange youth cannot afford to feed or care for and again their tax dollars have been swallowed by a king who can’t abrogate his ego for the good of the people and a lasting world peace so as long as his mind keeps reminding him he’s going to be forgotten after he’s the laughingstock of a flock of Shepherds making pies from the words of poet Robert Burns alongside the smoke stacks of Andrew Carnegie our president sold to a foreign nation where he buys all of his garments to assemble a grand vision of orange youth carrying out his commands as God lights another bush on fire to shed light on the darkness of the days of no shame for being as greedy as a snake who eats its own tail left only wanting more until we close the door and move on to a higher level of care for babies so parents can continue their education from the ashes of burnt books
