The slant
The revocation of his voice
We are revoking his voice from society
His poet's piercing and longing
Song of how things really are
Robert Haas' poems in
Summer Snow
I can see why the Nazis
And by Nazis in this case
I mean the German Nazis
Stomping through countries like they
Were jelly.
Not the current bastardized
Brainwashed Nazis, led by dumb
People who only care about
Crawling raw power.
I’m sick in the heart.
On top of an old
Heart
The tulips pretend they are sunflowers
But fail to grow 11 feet tall.
The cypress trees
That grace the driveway of the
Influential man
Fall one by two
To say they have had enough.
Even though the natural world
Rejects Naziism and longs
For the poet's voice
It has been revoked
By those pretending
To be wise and brave,
But they drink us all
In fear.
