HENRY’S MARKETPLACE
CHULA VISTA WITH
DAMAGES


Abuse
Neglect
Hatred
&
Poison

The store where
The farmers go
To buy poppy seeds

The dead
Chinese fish
INSIDE
Ron Cohn’s case
Are more efficient
Than polonium 210

Eco fruit
Baptized
With legal
Pesticides

Tenebrous presence
Axis of intoxication
With prosecutions

Organic dust
On grocery shelves
With canisters
Of mystical death

The poor
Disenfranchised
Disenchanted
Slaves
Are the workers
From the 3rd world
Competing with
Caucasian counterparts
For the favor
Of the rich man

Such a mirage
Of fairness
Adulteration of equality
Manufacturing of
Workman’s suffering

Cascade of liabilities
With frozen bread
Ready for
The ovens of greed
Blue words
In the grey sea
Of retail
