Make America Pray Again Otto - poem

Make America Pray Again OTTO

 

We see the bills of their uniform caps

“OTTO” is the legend beneath the peak

Which reads “Make America Pray Again”

The operative word is “Make” – we must be forced

 

Then who is OTTO, and whence his authoritative voice?

Is he a god come among us with a rod

To beat us down until we bleed and bleat

A great American Ave or Shema?

 

A cultic cap is neither theology nor art

And I will never invite OTTO into my heart
