George W. Bush: On His Visionary Dream

The noon sun shone like a giant round sword.
I grew euphoric when I saw the blood
that drenched the sky. The red wetness felt good
like my heart had just been opened. The Lord
is my Shepherd and I was flying toward
His House. I knew there was plenty of food
awaiting me. I was starving. My mood,
I said, euphoric. There's no other word
to explain this. The brightness, the colors,
the feelings, the hunger. I was soaring.
In my head I could see all the others
equally high beside me. Majoring
in God, I heard a chorus sing. The sound
stirred me. In tears, I was wearing a crown.
