big tree vs. Big Men

last week they cut down the big oak tree on our street

Big Strong Men swung from ropes while others yelled vulgar words

not too far up the street in the corporate restaurant Big Strong Men scream

“SHUT UP AND COOK!” at the humble workers

not too long ago Big Strong Men came and blocked off the path to the dam at the top secret bandit geen

soon a man will be president and Big Stong Men will stand around him with guns so he feel safe and important

Big Strong Men in philly with tight blue pants and shinny badges swung a nightstick at my mouth

foreigners run and hide while Big Strong Men from the american army ride humvees and blast their guns

Big Strong Men sit in the cage downtown getting drunk and laugh at the poor people who ride the bus

it wasn’t that long ago he said “you’re not small.  You make yourself small.”

i’m not exactly sure what he ment by that but perhaps he knows i don’t want to be a Big Strong Man
