Vienna the Cardigan
You crush those civilians breathing in their impermanent homes
the west hand bloodier than the east one, the propaganda notion truth--
our hiccup is obsequious.
Later the heads shall bow slight in hypocrisy
of their crimes and present humanity.
Soon the red babies will scatter over stretched plains
here and about a stolen homeland.
After the militias do opt in another humanitarian Sarajevo
and the indifferent Americans will cry his unrepentant heart a bit.
Now the Bomb can drop our hampered love
and hug, with a last reveal, nearly like the mothers,
unlike death.

"Mundane agitprop." -I just made up this phrase while reading some Vladimir Lenin. The term just seemed a good fit.
Year 2033: The true meaning of the now iconic political phrase 'mundane agitprop' has an entirely new meaning, running contrary to the original intended meaning. Now, mundane agitprop describes a specific and yet all too common occurrence here in these end times we call 2033: it's when an upperclass Danish person performs an unsolicited appendectomy on an unsuspecting cyborg vacuum cleaner. Labeled a serious federal crime in most of the remaining western police states and punishable by death in the third world country of America, Danes having become the latest minority to demonize in American popular culture. The crime only applies to upperclass Danes because then and as it is now only the wealthy have access to the medical schools in which such a procedure is learned. Also, there are only two classes, the super rich and the horribly poor - the end result of accelerated late capitalism. I could go on in that direction for quite some time but, I'll spare you. Instead, I'll leave you with the unfortunate knowledge that the poor do not have access to the legal rights that the super rich are entitled to, meaning the poor can be mundane agitprop-ed day in and day out without any punishment for the offending Dane. Social scientists are still studying why only wealthy Danes commit this crime, and have only so far come to an agreement that it has something to to do with skull size and shape; that is because racist colonial-era eugenics-informed pseudo-science has replaced the unpopular and unheeded practices of early 21st century science. I'll leave you with the ambiguousness that America's capital is now Chicago.
