One Million Deaths to the Earth Mamas

One million deaths to the Earth mamas
for their feign of meekness
and karmic destiny
‘tis a curious and benign effort, to be sure
surrounding oneself with peace-punks,
thieving pseudo-intellectuals,
and the consistency of ska music

One million deaths to the Earth mamas
for theirs was to inherit
before it even was
and if the poison of every sideways glance could manifest
organic fields would lie fallow

One million deaths to the Earth mamas
for putting nutritional yeast on popcorn
and making their own ketchup

One million deaths to the Earth mamas
may they be buried with their hula-hoops
as the maggots feed on their dreadlocks

One million deaths to the Earth mamas
because we’re all too afraid of them
to do the job ourselves
