SMITH STAYS HOME.I’ll save all of my Hallelujahs, for a world without hungerand all of my thoughts and prayersfor the younger generation,in a private room where I con—fessjust how scared I am to be blessedby the modern world and all its current religions.Conservative or Liberal, Democrat or Republican,all the same, there and back again,whatever the name—The churches in the capitol cityraise praise to capitalismand corporate identitywhile ignoring the fact thatwe know all their ideologies, are just dressed up in their bestfor the funeral of the old West.We are in an Ageof great overturning and rage;some of us are prophetsintuiting your profits, Mr. Senator,or at least we can see,that yours is a labyrinth freeof any real threat of a minotaur.I ony see Uncle Scarand a pack of scrapping hyenaslost to the realities of the hunt;a troop of foreign policy runts.And besides, a modern Mr. Smithstays home alone like Kevin,or dreaming of heaven—he already learned and replied— a good man can never go to Washingtonand remain virtuous inside.For Text and Rock Poetry, Podcasts, and Video Content or to contact Mark and Eric, visit us at www.textandrock.com.
