Let's clean up for the
new millennium,
no more gas chambers this
time around,
no more railroad cars crowded
with screaming Jews.
Ethnic cleansing be gone!
Slobodan Milosevic, you must fall in love
with a sloe-eyed Albanian maiden half
your age, and run away with her to Kosovo.
Let's patch up the hole in the ozone layer,
and beg forgiveness of every plant
and animal, and
no more of those machetes cutting off
heads in Rwanda.
The Rape of Nanking must be stopped
this minute, and Hiroshima
thrown into fast rewind.
We must wash our hands in the rivers
of blood, and
Jews and Palestinians must embrace and eat
falafel, while
Catholics and Protestants pipe and
dance their jig.
This is the new millennium.
No littering here.
April 1999
