Death Inc.

He ain’t no lame mute with a black cloak

& a scythe

That is Mid-evil propaganda

You see,

You see,

Death is modern

And he is corporate.

Rich people buy stock

in the company

& become even richer.

Televangelists like Joel Osteen

sell stock and tell you

how to get rich and  saved—

at the same time, same channel.

Hollowburden or is it Halliburton

delivers death globally.

They took over from Dow

when napalm went out of style.

I saw death on Park Avenue;

he was wearing brand new Gucci shades

and a dark Versace suit.

His “appointments” were

kept neatly on a smartphone.

Mister Death, CEO of Death, Inc.

walked to the World Trade Center

and pointed—twice.

You know,

You know…

He’s an equal opportunity slayer.
