United We Stand;
Together we Embrace

bin Laden the Bastard, fluke-knocking...
Bitched-in-the-heart-son of a Saudi millionaire,
Though he and his kamikaze-pilots
Dealt the dolorimetry dolor of death
Upon our virgin shores, shores virgin like Elizabeth I
With all the filth of his oil money,
Dark, dreadful and ditch-like... like an oil spill
That would suck and suffer and slay
My beloved off-shoots in the seagull family -My twisting terns and my glorious grebes
In my storied myth that I Buddha today for Wisdom's Way
For whom I sing of arms and the man
Soaring for our armies, navies, marines and airmen
'Cause our social-knit is the weave
Of Aristotle's supreme government -
The kingdom of a President
Birthing the substance of the French root of society -"friends" -As we have become again "rolling"
Like the heroes in a Pennsylvania ditch...
Americans whose Democracy
Re-incarnates the Indo-European root
Of friend - "pri"
Which bears forth
A Mediterranean family...
"pri" meaning "love," as now we bury fear -
The hobgoblin of all terrorism -
In the word-kin of all Kings - freedom
