My sister always called them
Burnt sunset dreams.
We would come home from a trip
And there it was one more time
Our home had been invaded
My grandmother and myself
Were born out there on the
French soil of the West coast
Ranch of fruit and nut trees.
No matter what we did
Or where we went
Or why that witch
And her family would be there
With their human trafficking
A pimp and a prostitute
Is what the Farrel's were known
Arrested and deported
Only to walk once more into
A gated private property
To set up a public campgrounds
Even now the girls who are supposed
To be taught aeronatics at
The corner school which was once
An international college
Now has a butch of catholic
Sluts who go to the beach
And have sex with their companions
Causing the visitors and other
Residents a shock to see their uniforms
Not adhered to their bodies
Why has the gentle community
Of religious members
Of the same family for over
A hundred years have to put
Up with this woman and her adopted girls
Who are not nice nor do they not encourage
Drugs nor murders on the property
Cleary they will have to be killed.
Themselves in order to get rid of them.
Meanwhile this weekend
Should be a family one
Where we could all come together
As in the old days
For a family memorial
Of all the ones who have died
For this country
Not for Germany
Nor Mexico
Such as my father Terry
Who served in the Korean war
For five years,
Only to be set on fire
By Jimmy whose real dad
Never served in the military
Just woke the kids up
Every day with his show
Captain Kangaroo.
Then there was my grandfather
Jack who was a paratrooper
During WWII ,
He was found dead
At the kitchen table
In my apartment
Instead of one of his own homes
His own military pistol
Was used by whom?
The Police never did
Figure it out in LA
Where Jimmies dad ruled supreme
Or my grandfather Ralph
Who worked on the Manhatten Project
And volunteered for North Africa
After his job was done
When D-Day occurred
He had no intention of dealing with
The Pacific battles nor Japan
His brother-in-law
Was there on his ship.
For both WW wars
As a professional naval
He suddenly drove his car
Backwards in Sausalito
When Jimmy needed a ride
And not even his kinfolk
Amos is buried at the
National Memorial
In the Bay Area,
While his brother in law
Had a massive heart attack
After he found out that the kid
Listed as the first conscientious objector.
In California when the draft
Was being considered by Carter.
Only to want to run around
And control those Muslim guys
In the Iraq Desert Storm
This after he interfered in Iran
Practically causing the Iran situation
While I was in the office with the housekeeper
To get our papers in order at teh US Embassy
My uncle whom I was supposed to be living
Got left behind as I was escorted out the back
My skin beige enough to pass
But not my whiter french uncle
Who was hide with one of the other guys
For the duration of the hostage thing
When they finally let them go
These guys were also pushed out
Richard was one of the ones who understood
Poor Carter, Jimmy was not his friend
And he is laying in Hospice
Having served himself in the war effort
Both my great-grandfathers
Also served in the Great War
One was a flying ace
Stationed in Egypt
And a Mormon
Who managed to go home
To his one wife or was she his second?
Anyways the other guys
Offered themselves.
Such as the one from Scandinavia
With experience but over forty.
His son did go in his stead
Buried at the Rosencranz
National memorial for WWI
And then there was that guy
Who got sent during the Civil War
To California who spent it
At that fort in the middle
Of the bay called Alcatraz
Then refusing to go home
Until he retired as the postmaster
Of the Presidio in San Francisco
Only to die shortly afterwards.
We have those who are buried
At Arlington National Memorial
As well as those who came
Home quietly to finish
Thier life course
Without the fanfare.
All the way back to the
French and Indian wars
We have fought
For this country
And never have any of them
Been given the real heroes
Welcome home.
Not even the ones in the National Cemetaries
All have been robbed and raped
By the German cowards
Who came not wanting to deal
With Russians
But also refusing to go home
Once their Wall came down.
They prefer to be the ones
Yelling the most about
Thier Social Secuity benefits
Being in danger by this
Current adminstrations
Possible debt default crash
Causing the entire federal government
To come to a halt.
Enjoy this weekend
It might be the last one
With money for a picnic
At the Beach or the Park.
Just wait till they get that call,
To repay their loans
In full from someone
They might have made angry
Such as Russia
Whom do we owe money
Anyways?
Sunset,
Burnt skies,
Possible nor morning sky...
