no, wait, those are elephants breathing fire
intoxicated by the fumes from oil companies
spellbound by pseudo-economists
given thrust and lift by their own rhetoric
they circle then strafe and bomb us
and in some ways we deserve it
given how we have treated and still treat
other animals, except these are symbolic
creatures of dreams and nightmares
pets of the very rich, trained to vote
in Congress and state legislatures
then rush out to puke and diarrhete
on working people, then land and tell us
how lucky and blessed we are
and what a fine world this now is
