Courage

I say this so you do not become discouraged:
the TV says a football player turned
soldier has died in Iraq. But why,
They ask, could he give up such recompense?
Later, the TV says another athlete may not be convicted
of rape since his victim was too much the slut.
These are our heroes. I say
this so you do not become
too encouraged: overconfidence will kill
you. The TV says a woman is on trial
for killing her bullet-headed husband.
She will be convicted. Their bed is reconstructed
in the courtroom to be judged: is this?
Is this the bed? She is blond and she cries.
Therefore she must be guilty. (Does she float like a duck?)
This is what falls
                       when the pedestal collapses and those who “worship”
beneath die: the goddess must be eaten. I say this
so you do not become too couraged: the TV says
a new movie features a black man who kills
because the little, white, rich, blond girl he is hired
to protect is killed and raped. Black man kills because
white girl dies. They interview the white actress who plays
the white girl in the movie. In real life she is too young
to even see the movie she stars in, the movie she plugs.
In another movie, The Bride kills because she loses
her man. Her man.
That makes it ok. She too is white and blond.
This lasts for two movies, actually, so she is obviously
hysterical. Too emotional. Because in the third movie
the daughter of the woman she kills, kills her.
The Bride is guilty.

She is too emotional without her man.
She too must die. I say this.
You have heard, but I say this.
