Made in China
How broad can bald eagle
spread wings?
Over Gag and Magog,
to the east,
and the place of morning calm
When she is molting
a spot is unclothed,
New Orleans
in the south
Red China swelling in Asia
with great sway
An occult war
manufacturing frivolity
Mind control,
weapons of mass destruction;
a birthday gift
placed in gullible palms
Buttons are pushed
away from books
and noisy playgrounds
Slaves to the control,
mind control
Tomorrow’s men
are made in China
