O You Who Have No Culture

O you who have no culture
but the culture of greed,
lying, and deceit,
we will bury you
with our new culture
of love, respect,
and truth.
If there were a hell
other than the one
you're making,
We'd send you
straight to it.
But you will have time,
if not freedom,
to consider
your foolishness
as you diminish
past the point
of invisibility,
not worth
our time
or consciousness.



I Can No Longer

I can no longer bury myself
in books and ancient languages,
falling back on a patriarchal culture
that is killing us
and destroying the planet.
Now is the time
to create what we seek
through love,
in solidarity indivisible,
and be the world
of our desire.
