I was actually messing around posting this in drafts when i put ‘For Barrack Obama’ under the title, on a whim. Sorry if it insults anyone, i’m actually a die-hard Hillaryite (being practical working class vs. academic liberal?)and since she was not named VP i will probably sit this election out or go McCain. I know, I know… But enough politics.

I had been reading a lot of Orhan Pamuk, turkish author of ‘My name is Red’ and ‘Snow’ etc. when i wrote this poem…and actually had a pen-pal from Turkey for a while. There’s a lot of shit going on there right now with secular vs. fundamentalist in the govt…which is a common thing in the Muslim countries attempting to modernize…see ‘Persepolis’ about an Iranian girl and those times. But yeah, poem is not without its share of shock value also…some might say distasteful, and i might agree in the name of nihilism…ahh, to plant that seed of critical thought in so many bristling Chia-pets!

I’m the bleeding pig who

didn’t make his home of brick..”

Where do you come up with this shit? What kind of genius are you?

I had posted a poem about Obama but I took it down last night. Maybe I should’ve left it up.
