Chaos Theory
(Revisited)

And the Anti-Lord appeared before the Bush -

I am the Anti-Lord; march forth preeminently
and unilaterally before me onto the sands of Abraham,
for you must dominate by faith, and not sight

And the Bush drew near -

And can I march and dominate my way
to Damascus, Teheran, and beyond?

And soon after whispering to the Bush
the Anti-Lord went his way as he had left
communing with the Bush

And the Bush returned unto his morning
brief with the Director of the CIA

The United Nations was not invited to attend
this exhibition, behind barbed wire diplomacy,
leaving spent uranium boot prints in the sand

Chaos in the Land of Abraham

Recovering the not so distant echo and refrain
of children persistently traumatized by war,
their innocent hearts scarred with shrapnel
