dick cheney’s umwelt

i wish i could transfer
my umwelt
and borrow
someone else’s
i have been hungry
for days
and i thought
the feeling was stress
all my life
i’ve thought
i will soon die
yet here i am
outliving dick cheney

dick cheney i would say is totemic of the dawn of the end time fascism era. a smash and grab disaster capitalist. no worries about consequences as long as the right people make money immediately. we bomb the middle east, seemingly picking countries at random to panic about, proscribe them, destabilise countries, overthrow governments, and we wonder why there are so many asylum seekers and why the muslim world hates them. we’ve been crusading since 1096!
