Corruptors and CorruptionA Poem by Jim GivenI bit of "pop culture" comentary, I guessI By
Plath, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Cassidy, Dylan, Hardin, Ochs, Morrison, Lennon, McCartney, Simon, Zevon,
II Mothers, Fathers,
Teachers,
Politicians, Clerics,
III The
caretakers, Of
each generation, Finds
that their, Children
are lost.
IV Their
souls, And
spirits wander, Through
the loosely, Constructed
maze Of
psychic-paleontology,
V Until
they are distracted, And
then caught, In
the plaits of thought.
VI Contemplations, A
new, A
vision Of
the future, Different, Open
to change, Non
antiseptic, Straying
from the Status
quo,
VII For
better or worse, Not
to know, Who,
where or why, Of
the figure, Standing
motionless Atop
me, Their
Blood splattered
sleeve, Their
gun pointed, At
my bloodied, And
concaved head.
