Eat the Rich

by Madison Alexander

we feast on the entrails of Their Armani suits and lies the blood spilling out and dribbling down our chins lapping it up like ravenous dogs with foaming mouths and bared teeth

we spit on Their throbbing appendage of A5 Kobe Strip Steak and smile up at Them from between their legs, with a childish sparkle in our pornstar eyes, we rip it from their body and swallow them whole

we shed our tattered robes of the American Dream and burn them with a fire lit by Their Gurkha Black Dragon cigars Sipping blood from gold chalices by the hearth lined with the bones of them
