 the commies are coming, the commies are coming!!!i

don't want to stand in bread lines!
that's what i knew, or thought i knew about the soviet union
oh, also that they played good hockey
also guess what? Canadians are standing in bread lines
in case you hadn't noticed

when i was just a girl
that's what i learned in school and on the tv
my parents were indifferent
they liked bowling and poker and whiskey
and now as a mom of three beautiful kids
afraid of a nuclear attack, again,
i think to myself
what a bunch of fucktards
we have allowed to run this world

and smash the patriarchy
smash it all to hell
the first poem i ever remember writing
was about the imminent risk of nuclear war
i was 16
we averted it that time, it was the cold war
this, THIS is a hot war
do everything you can, wherever you are
to stop weapons sales.
