got a poem to blow Americans away?
in light of the unmoving and bland delivery by Elizabeth Alexander
on one of the most awesome opportunities to perform poetry live
in the history of this nation, Green Panda seeks GOOD poems on
America, the citizens, the corps., and basically, what makes us tick,
what hopes or cynicisms lie at the heart of the working class. what
binds us, and keeps us pages away from apathy.
send poems with subject line Blow America
and ya might appear in the same named anthology,
forthcoming in 2009.

here's Was (Not Was)'s "I Blew Up The United States" - sorta fits your funk: Was (not Was) I Blew Up The United States lyrics I set charges in Maine and Florida In Washington and California I gave fair warning and lit the fuse Right at the beginning of the network news All I did was listen to the Fates I blew up the United States Now little bits of Texas Are floating up in space I blew up the United States I put plastique in the Statue of Liberty And my nerves got a little bit jittery Poor little lady, there goes her head Her arm is melting and her eyes turned red All I did was listen to the Fates I blew up the United States Now little bits of Texas Are floating up in space I blew up the United States It's a free country I'm within my rights Every child should have a weapon And a ton of dynamite My hand is steady And my eye is cold A voice inside my head Keeps saying "Do as you are told" All I did was listen to the Fates I blew up the United States Now little bits of Texas Are floating up in space I blew up the United States
