DOWN SOUTH {1 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{1_01}
WE'VE ALL HEARD how George Dubya screwed Ms. Lynch,
{1_02}
but let's not dwell on his proclivities.
{1_03}
No, rather on THE PEOPLE whose votes winch
{1_04}
his screwing mechanism through the trees ...
{1_06}
that have been planted on the mountain side
{1_07}
by God almighty: nests for freedom's dove --
{1_08}
and, yes, as obstacles to Dubya's PRIDE ...
{1_10}
so landslides of his BULLSHIT will flow down.
{1_11}
SO SAD the U.S. SOUTH -- place of my birth --
{1_12}
must be the dumb-ass region that would crown ...
{1_14}
Sweet yellow dogs turned green. What made them sick?

DOWN SOUTH {2 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{2_01}
WHEN DID THE SOUTH bend over to receive
{2_02}
the seed of Satan ... for the second time?
{2_03}
THE CIVIL WAR STUPIDITY we grieve
{2_04}
or celebrate in costume as some mime ...
{2_06}
mass slaughter by gun-toting Southern boys
{2_07}
and yankee youth. In open fields were slain --
{2_08}
without a tree a rifle ball destroys ....
{2_10}
of sawbones, bloody stumps, and morphined screams --
{2_11}
to live or die more likely from disease
{2_12}
than violence and story that redeems ...
{2_14}
she says, you know, you've made a few mistakes.

DOWN SOUTH {3 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{3_01}
A REBEL BATTLE FLAG says PRIDE remains
{3_02}
for warriors on the side who gave their lives
{3_03}
defending their held truths and its domains
{3_04}
no matter if the devil's chauffeur drives ...
{3_06}
where we pay our respects no matter how
{3_07}
much BULLSHIT was the reasons some men gave
{3_08}
to justify the slaughter. Heads we bow ...
{3_10}
We honor sacrificing for our tribe.
{3_11}
We honor those who died for LOYALTY
{3_12}
to "our own kind." And if the Southern vibe...
{3_14}
So be it. Cross our hearts and praise the Lord.

DOWN SOUTH {4 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{4_01}
Yes, JFK and LBJ were warned --
{4_02}
the price of civil rights was SOUTHERN VOTES.
{4_03}
DOWN SOUTH the Democrats -- once loved, now scorned
{4_04}
for plucking true, instead of BULLSHIT notes.
{4_06}
and take their jobs and girlfriends. So they freaked:
{4_07}
Put rifles in their pickups to disguise
{4_08}
their fear -- afraid somebody may have peeked ...
{4_10}
so tiny in comparison to blacks.
{4_11}
Each grabs a Rebel Battle flag and sticks
{4_12}
it in their window, 'bove their rifle racks.
{4_14}
still clueless what a rebel flag stands for?

DOWN SOUTH {5 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{5_01}
REMEMBER, FOLKS, that I'm from Tennessee,
{5_02}
so I can talk like this -- I get to "joke"
{5_03}
about the size of dicks that you might see
{5_04}
down South. A Southern White can take a poke ...
{5_06}
LIKE breaking up the nation to preserve
{5_07}
the right to keep sweet freedom from all blacks.
{5_08}
STILL FLY A REBEL FLAG? Hell, you've got nerve!
{5_10}
that Satan loves. The kind he can exploit
{5_11}
by simply having minions speak your mind.
{5_12}
Satanic BULLSHIT-speakers so adroit ...
{5_14}
and comforting your God-forsaken fear.

DOWN SOUTH {6 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{6_01}
George Dubya's first job in his father's race
{6_02}
was "LOYALTY ENFORCER" -- guarantor
{6_03}
that loyalty not truth would set the pace
{6_04}
for daddy's team. (Same game when Dub beat Gore.)
{6_06}
"whatever words it takes" that 's what he'll say.
{6_07}
They won't be lies 'cause he will come to see
{6_08}
their truth -- 'cause what Bush wants must be God's way.
{6_10}
Yes PRIDE and BULLSHIT make the perfect pair
{6_11}
of soul-destroying chemicals. Who taught
{6_12}
George Dubya this concoction? Her white hair ...
{6_14}
In PRIDE & BULLSHIT Dubya was home-schooled.

DOWN SOUTH {7 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{7_01}
Yeah, "e tu tambien!" -- your mama, too!
{7_02}
Perhaps she's Satan's minion if she'd send
{7_03}
you off to do what Dubya Bush says do.
{7_04}
You should be worried if my words offend ...
{7_06}
you have been eating BULLSHIT and can't tell
{7_07}
that beer you're drinking's really turpentine
{7_08}
from Satan's table, pumped right out of hell ...
{7_10}
Your LOYAL SOUTHERN SOUL belongs to God.
{7_11}
Yes, loyalty to Him should be your goal,
{7_12}
not loyalty to southern clumps of sod.
{7_14}
Ask "what would Jesus do," and screw the map.

DOWN SOUTH {8 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{8_01}
DEAR PRESS CORPS: If you labeled BULLSHIT right,
{8_02}
I'd leave small penis'd Southern men alone.
{8_03}
Lord knows some can't find jobs, and must go fight
{8_04}
George Dubya's demons' battles that I moan ...
{8_06}
from all constraints -- except his sonnet's rules.
{8_07}
I use this license: sing what must be sung
{8_08}
to counteract THE FRAMES we learned in schools ...
{8_10}
of all of humankind ... so evil wins.
{8_11}
Osama's evil -- and George Dubya's peep.
{8_12}
Their followers eat BULLSHIT: Satan's spins ...
{8_14}
For newsfolk who respread it... hell's your place.

END OF "DOWN SOUTH" SONNET SEQUENCE [BUT SEE BELOW] |
DOWN SOUTH {9 of 9} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{9_01}
IN PARIS she is still off on her own
{9_02}
accomplishing what femmes in Paris do
{9_03}
when lovers are distracted, and their phone
{9_04}
has been misplaced. Whatever they pursue ...
{9_06}
and know not how they think -- though I pretend
{9_07}
to stick words in their mouths: a guy-like pearl
{9_08}
in thongy shell that guys wish girls would send ...
{9_10}
their spirit to the size of humankind.
{9_11}
"Such bullshit," she would say, since I'm in charge
{9_12}
of saying what my femme has on her mind.
{9_14}
So why do I feel lonely here at dawn?
