De Toqueville Came To Tea/ Neo Conman Blues


This one goes out for Mark Malone

Acid Brecht spectacle. 
Narrative frontier splendour.
West Gone wild.
Neo-con hubris
Cracked out of control.

Disaster capitalism
Dandied up De Toqueville
Primate.
Brute.
Jackboot
Yes. Yes. Yes.
One dollar a box.
Tea.
Ten cent cheaper
than
London town.
You hear.
London town.
And they look on us as savages.
Old Europe.
Soiled in socialism.
Foul. Foul. Foul.
'Those Jews are biologically different'
Let's 'sterilise the Roma'
But hark
Tea is served

Tea.
Tea.
Do I hear Tea?
Where's my bun?
Lovely ass
I'll sue it.

But yes.
Tales of tea.
We got it safely to Henry Jackson
How the cups clinked.
In Boston.
Eastern Seaboard.
Brahims
What the **** are they?
Sounds immigrant to me.
Sea. Salt. Fresh Air.
Capt on deck.
Males in womb.
Fifty men overboard.
Ten down with scurvy.
Five shot for sedition


God damn.
The threat of sedition.
God. Allah. Whatever.
Oh so liberal.
Libertarian. Libertas. Yes
But they made it hell.
Hell
in
Helmand.
Ooooh.
You know what they say
You can rent and Afghan.
But you can't buy one.

But even towel heads
need to talk.
Don't they Bopp!
The money is zipping through the air.
Zipping.
No need 
for 
Kevlar.
Bullets
are 
so
Last Century.

Zipping.
Zip. Zip. Zip
Zing.
You have be fast.
Faster than faster.
Communications.
The future's communications.
They bring vast wealth.
Wealth. Wealth.Wealth
And, of course, freedom.
Yes.
They bring freedom too.

Wedgy wealth
Dodgy freedom
And...
always always always always always
The
Bloody
Threat
of
Sedition

Five shot for sedition.
Or was it six?
Don't they understand the need for cheap tea?

Those
God damn
seditioners.

You really need to watch out for them.

You really need to watch out for them.
