Coins and Bullets

I am the metal you pry

with shovel and pick

from mother earth's

deep, dark lair.

Carry me with earnest

to your factory.

Smelt

Forge

and polish me

in your image.

So, we can then part

up stairs in Washington

and streets of Baghdad.

Yes, I am the metal

that binds you.

Carry me with earnest.
