Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

II.

His image near the sea.
Imagery just imagery.
Naked from another time.
Nursed in killer's nurseries.
It will make one sick:
to follow a machine.
Desire: not an option
We are the machines.

Blasted from another time.
Naked on the yellow line.
We have mayfly memories.
21st chromosome trisomy.
U.S.-101? Or U.S.-10,001?
Elephants deny our histories.
21st century lobotomy.

A foreign-born prince to be.
A performance-enhanced techonolgy.
The girlie-men keep us apprised
of the alpha-male's meteoric rise.
Will he dare "pump us up" if
we aren't made of stronger stuff?
When you bury the dead, cover them with lime --
place copper pennies over metal eyes.

San Diego...there's a fire burning.
Angelinos...there's a fire burning.
San Francisco...there's a fire burning.
Sacramento...there's a fire burning.

 

I.

They come with guns a'blazing.
They come, they don't know why
All the time I've spent in fields of fire...
no one to hear my cry.

They come with guns a'blazing.
They come, they come and then they die.
All the time I've spent in fields of fire...
no one to hear my cry.
