My father’s first poem in the last four to five years. I love it. It’s been a hoot to see where this writing is coming from. Thanks for the read, and thanks for the poem Dad!
By Ross Silver
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
take your flowery high mindedness
take your justice fairness and kindness
And put it in a sack and drown it in the river
Celebrate cruelty, inequity, victimization, despair
Refute your hypocritical facade
Lay you bear and naked
for all to see
Your grim sadism
You will not fool me anymore
I will not smile today
