American Auschwitz Poem by Patti Masterman

American Auschwitz



The airport scanner images
that mainstream media loves to print in articles
resembles nothing so much to me,
as concentration camp photos.

The victims are remarkably better fed
than those prisoners were; obese even.
And most were not coerced into having
their images made and retained in secret files
of the government.

It is all an open source invasion of privacy.
The people bow down, bleating like
sheep, and submit to any and all indecencies
with their liberties. This is going to have
a bad ending.

In plain sight, the pilfering is beginning
and nobody bothers to notice.
On the street, many people have never heard of QE
and do not realize they do not have
to take everything lying down.

A few more laws enacted,
and the serfs are put out to pasture,
and it's just that easy-
as if nobody cared at all?
