27 – Global Empire Fantasies



Napoleon’s career abound

yet eludes them

expand until they explode

cuckoldry fantasies

whistle Dixie and shrink-wrap

every McHappy meal


don’t forget to say cheese

feel a chill in the shadow of Ozymadias,

penal vampire empathies

dreamed up by a media

a cartoon mouse


global empire fantasies

need victims

along with the moon and stars


empire fantasies have nothing, are fun,

only the shortsighted see


a deathstar – Wikileaks


global fantasies, colonial whoredom

the receding red of Queen Victoria’s lace


empires outlive their welcome

disintegrate from within
