Baby Boomer Burn

by Brent Hogan

 

I have hate

for the people who spat on Veterans

disembarking from ships,

and now you have great patriotism,

great spur-of-the-moment patriotism!

That is, until the colors start clashing

with your weak belief structure again.

 

I have hate

for forty and fifty year old politicians

who sat on their lipo-sucked asses

as our enemies bombed embassies,

blew up ships,

and you did nothing

but launch ineffective missiles

to cover up your blowjob brigades.

 

I have hate

for all your reminiscing about the sixties:

How you were going to change the world

by ingesting drugs that fried your brain,

How you were going to change the world

by marching all day without running out of breath,

How you were going to change the world

by protesting, but now your protests are just lawsuits.

 

I have hate

that the world thinks America is cheap and trash.

I have hate

that you let the world believe that we are all arrogant and rich.

I have hate

that my friends are going to go off and die for your fuck-ups.

I have hate

that after this war is finished, we will have to return back home

and go to war against you and your failed idealism that you still cling to.

 

I hate you for the vomit that is our world.

I hope you burn under your children's wrath.

 

Brent Hogan is the displacer if illusions. His baseball-cap shaded eyes gleam from the glint of rage created by a society of supposed elders who live the bubble of double standards.
