POEM OF THE MONTH    |   April 2004  
 
Another Poem About the Man

the man who brought you the garbage can
                                   the graveyard
                                   the grossout
                                   the grimgram
                                   the grubby grabbing
                                   bloody blabbing nightly news
                                   now brings you
                                   Grenada

hellicopters grating the nutmeg trees
rifles shiny on the shellshocked sand
the beautiful laundry of the bombs falling into fresh air
artillery and tanks up against a halfnaked girl

another great success
brought to you
by trash delivering more trash to smash
and despoil the papaya
the breadfruit the bloodroot
shattered and bloodsplattered
from freedom
rammed down the throat
of Grenada now Grenada she
no sing no more
Grenada now Grenada she
no sing no more she lose
she sky
to yankee invaders
Grenada now Grenada she
no sing no more
