Proper Propaganda—& Other Bogus Tales

All is propaganda,

For grizzlies or for pandas

(In the U.S. or Uganda)

PR pens bestow ...

Rudely rustic downers,

Dusted on pure flowers,

For traitors & up-towners,

Fresh-brewed, blood-ink flows.

Lies & half-truth ditties,

Spread to farms & burned-out cities,

Killing puppies & cute kitties,

Leaving doom & midnight woes.

Churning crocks of clutter,

As weak hearts start to flutter,

& old men blankly stutter,

Lost in bitter prose …

Whose auras are so epic,

They’re listed alphabetic,

For manic academics,

& ghost-white buffalos.
