Muscle Poems

Yes! Cold fact!

The Russians have saved America.

We are misled and we misread,

Like innocents in a stockade

Bound for where? But to blindly heed

Yes. It’s true. And what you knew

Was not.

The qualms, the air strikes, electronic votes,

And cosmonauts

Were all bought by media makers,

So it’s not our fault.

Please, because I thought and I prayed

To accept that the reward is the Russians

From what our own czar kept away.
