history is written in the bark
of trees, molested and bound in a cover;
handed out by militant survivalists
camouflaged in quarter-million
dollar homes and a poor concept
of freedom. dye

is the only thing that removes stains.
it’s like salting and burning
mass graves.
scalped eagles nesting in ddt,
we’ve found new ways to spread
small pox.

the last pioneer
will be the first victim of retribution
on the final frontier.
soon, we will see the last
harvest moon.
stain pages with text affixed
over our testaments.

our existence
is in the hands
of a rapist, a murderer,
christopher columbus,
adolf hitler,
j edgar hoover,
al sharpton;

burn the books,
scorch the forest,
incinerate this legacy.
