6th stanza: suite of seven haiku in the voice and point of view of George Bush who wanted a hot dog

She stares at the paper, solid
white with its blue, horizontal stripes
running from one end to another.

She pushes it off the desk
and it lands by her foot,
covered with eraser shavings and tears.

The deserted bedroom's silence echoes
off of the plain painted walls
as she descends the lonely staircase.

Her soul floats effortlessly in the emptiness of space,
whishing whispers of ticking clocks and rainbow colored fish
to the shooting stars that pass. She wishes for
tennis balls, yellow, fuzzy, and new for the dogs
homeless and alone. She wishes for bottle caps for
her bottle cap collecting brother. But wishes aren't real.

And neither is God.
He's as real as the Boogieman
and doesn't give a shit about you

If he did, you wouldn't have been doomed to live
this life in this world of death, hatred, and lies.

No. Fuck the bull shit.
God is as ridiculous as the candy-coated life you knew
when you were in kindergarten.

Welcome to reality where life sucks
and then you die.

Life is a dirty whore.

Wishes aren't true

Life is a dirty whore.

So don't waste your breath

Life is a dirty whore.

Jesus doesn't love you

Life is a dirty whore.

In the end you're dead

Life is a dirty whore.

Nobody cares.

Well, howdy, I care

I care about wars and the

soldiers risking their

lives on enemy

territory because I

won't pull them out of

that wasteland desert.

Actually, ya know what?

I want a hot dog.

Y'all want a hot dog?

A real good, Texas hot dog?

Everyone likes 'em.

I like hot dogs just

as much as I like the war

and shootin' those guns!

Bang! Bang! Bang, bang, bang!

I'm a awesome president.

Just like my daddy.

Like father, like son.

I'm the best president ever!

Like father, like son.
