hard on us, pardon

pardon my mr president
pardon my friends
pardon yer enemies
pardon us, sir
pardon the thugs
pardon the poopheads and  bootlickers
pardon the ceos and the crack whackers
pardon us sir mister bigshot warchief
pardon the religions in their hoily boodle battles
pardon drones pre-preemptive emptying,
pardon our french ticklers from witchita
pardon your bloody rose garden, space of aids, & waiting lines for prostheses
        at the ungoverned VA museum of unforgivable torsos
pardon notions of blemishes vanquished
pardon justices unimpeachable in their salient crimes
pardon the unmansionables in tent cities, car camps, under bridges, in peesmell doorways
pardon the poor if they don't pardon us
when we are part and parcel of policy
&waved wands, signed edicts, and loaves of bread all compete for a clean slate,

pardon the anger
hard (on itself
