America, d o you see the twisted
lives and twisted souls from carmercialville
being stagecoached into our towns, U . S.A.,
chauffered by PRIVATE OPINION
while GREEDY PROFITS, the loaded ormipotent pinp rides shotgun?
What an exhilarating, lucrative, terminal trip it is!
Human parts being greeted by astute veinless gentlemen
with orange briefcases filled with soiled hypodermic needles,
wall street's clandestine slot machinery vulgarly penetrates into broken
scenes conmitting armed robbery, pricking our youth,
piercing their hopes, passing out bogus social security checks,
fingering mug shots of the structurally unemployed, the cheerful
unhappy and the un-was!
Draftees of the urban morgue squad...the Real equal opportunity
enployer!
Do you hear, America? Do you hear the mock funeral bugles
signaling the Friday night rallies in the slave quarters,
in the neon lights district, in the recessed halls o f prime
business? Things don't really go better with Coke...
The deaf musical notes being aired to plugged ears.
Where
are your children, America? The gameful losers, with nothing
better to look forward to...They
are all nervously huddled together on pool table green
overcrowded graveyards.
chase's big bet: bank two in the side pocket!
Where are your children, America?
These are the ones with numbers o n them, tying knots into
their lives with scraps from a red, white and blue jump
suit from the next war.
What it is, America? What's
happening? Little people being made smaller, clinging
desperately to re-elect Grover Cleveland bumper stickers,
preying for the big fix!
Waiting for the n e w deal...
waiting for capital gains to print out six foot deep,
glossy photography... the best clothes,
the new gas hog, the sour misplaced smile of false
prophets with bad b reath...your page, America!
The confused, the positioned ones, being decisioned for
in their cryptic absence.
The mine blowing dirge of the nervous central intelligence system
international pall bearers marching, luring,
plucking the young and the tired into perpendicular walking pits.
Sealed cases.
At rest.
A home.
T o have been kicked b y it.
America, where are your children?
The ambitions of poverty is a dreadful thing.
Sleeping beauties, hew does one put on make-up
while our young flowers' blood fertilizes the frozen
cash accounts of King Heroin and the lady?
America, we need no more test tubes, n o more
mid-aged dead mosquitoes silhouetted against drained
plastic plasma bottles, casting n o visible shadows,
being ushered into silent, cold positions by
professional undertakers who don't even knew why
they died!
America, do you know why? Do you?

ORANGEBURG, S.C .-John L. Moorhead, right, Vice President, Marketing Services, Pepsi-Cola Company discusses
areers for minorities in modern American business corporations recently with business students at South Carolina State
t ollege. Telling students that at Pepsi-Colaa "we don't know of anything that's perfect, or anything that couldn't be done
better," Moorhead said that African Americans, "along with other minorities, are beginning to claim their fair share
y»f the American dream." Moorhead spoke recently for the college's Visiting Executive Program.
