"Gives A Phuuck" Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

‘tele'
on the
programs
shooting people
in my house? Really?
Ummmmmm!
This is gonna be thrilling!
like in those wartime situations!
Visuals seen filmed in black and white!
Censored to ease the pains of death
and dying boys on beach heads…
in the minds of deadheads back
on the homeland… ain't that
grand! Enticing and eliciting
a consciousness of ‘war'
without scaring or scarring
or Mangling or Mangling or
mangling the soft blind melons
that civilians are bred to be…
creatures of habits and comforts
and payers of taxes and workers
droning and drowning and dousing
and dosing and doing nothing… because
each is quarantined in their little boxes
sucking in the covid infested airs of
their fart infested interiors passing
gas and virus and dumb phuucks
back and forth to parents and
kids and grandparents of
ethnic minorities dying
at exponential rates
in the pandemic
being exposed
on that idiot
box we call
Television!
Tel-a-vision!
Tel-a-vive!
Tel-i-vise?
Tel-u-ride?
Here is a dime!
Call someone who
gives a phuuck!
