The Halo At Palo
by John Shumaker
Ah yes, the Halo at Palo
Ah yes, the Sarcophagus on the Cedar
Ah yes the secret hidden in the cornfields
Ah yes the hidden nuke force
of O Bomb a planet
Ah yes the sarcoma on the Cedar
followed by the carcinoma on the Cedar
and all the oncology units springing up everywhere
from Cedar Falls to Waterloo
to Cedar Rapids
to Iowa City
following the hidden mantra
“build oncology units all around
the $secret hidden in the cornfields…
and they will come”
here everyone is Day GLO
no one has to pay for an X Ray
Is this the Field of Dreams
in Reality, the Field of Screams
the Deram of deranged money managers keeping the nuke grid of
control
Ah yes, the well disguised hidden $secret
buried deep in Iowan's Psyches
deep within the field of dreams
to a well lobotomized
accepting public
following perfectly that old bromide axiom
see no evil
hear no evil
speak no evil
especially to that baboon factory
called the local media
even the bonobos in the zoo over in Des Moines
who love everybody know better than this
when we really set our hearts and minds
to REALLY cleaning up this River
this elephant in the Iowa~Cedar River living room
this Sarcophagus smack dab in middle of Cedar
this $Secret hidden in the cornfields
will
Finally
Fully
and For All Time
Have to
GO
SHUT DOWN the Nuke
at Palo
this Halo has to
GO!
AHO!
