Someone Pass the Diazinon

The wasps
have houses of paper
seems silly to me

maybe that's why they defend them so
ardently
feverishly
desperately

when I ask them for an explanation
they tell me not to question
and veil answers in their
sweat
tear
blood
cum
shit
stained star spangled rag

And while the workers have been busy
miscarrying justice on the outside
their sixteen year old daughters
are busy smoking crystal
and
miscarrying their second child

the bored queen sits alone
giving birth to the next rx generation
masking the salt of tears with
the taste of a dirty martini
I made

Eighteen year old sons go off to war
to defend the rights of
CBSLockheedWalmartMacDonalds
to make a buck
safely stored in a paper castle
high above my head

Hand to mouth
Father to son
are we so proud of what we are

I'm holding out my hand
someone please pass the diazinon
