There is a War on White Men in the West.
(To be fair, we haven’t sent our best.)
The gals and gays and browns have all been pressed
into service, and they are marshalling the rest
of the demographics who, now unrepressed,
have somehow now outbred and out-successed
the WASPs—despite admitting self-confessed
Catholics and certain Jews, our quest
to stay on top, to rule, has not progressed
to our entire advantage. Rome’s bequest?
Jerusalem and Athen’s dying jest;
the sun has even set on Budapest—
your left arm hurts; you clutch your tightening chest:
London, Paris, cardiac arrest.
