Feel Lucky, Punk? Well, Do Ya? Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

-

Guys who lived by a code
forsaken by glibmeisters
in politics and art today
who couldn't strike a match
to light the smokes of men
who blazed the way

These guys, Jews and Christians alike,
lived for Christ's sake
in a country of the imagination
despoiled by creeps and what's in it for me
guys who have been acclaimed
by the masses as their leaders
and who are led like hogs
to the slaughter
by ingratiating Judas goats
in sheepskin coats!

For Christ's sake and ours,
may our fictional heroes prevail!
