Fireworks

by Heath Brougher / September 13th, 2020

Fireworks are subconsciously spurious symbols
of the real bombs used by the Guerrilla warfare-practicing savages
who founded the terrorist organization known as the united states of america—
a blazing blight nearing its final ember
that’ll burn into ash and float
on the breeze of an Earth that has been ridden
of a severe manifestation of insanely evil over-personification.
