The Karma of Kap or
curse of capitalism??
“There is nothing permanent except change.”

Karma of Kap/curse of capitalism …
Gridiron gods, again, reminded 49er fans
best team; and Xs and Os don’t
White-out spirit of he who kneeled on the
Shield … Shined red/gold sunlight on slaughter
Gridiron gods reminded 49er fans
Tears … in beers won’t white-out spirit of he who
Kneeled on the shield— showered the world with wet, cold

Kneeled on the shield—revealed sudden deaths over time at
hands of trigger-happy terrorists … playing “Hands up don’t shoot!”

Gridiron gods, again, reminded 49er fans
best team; and Xs and Os can’t conceal concussion-collusion—
Show of force flyovers/Pentagon pimp partnerships with blood-

Flaming fossil fuel fortunes to:
Drop
the
'Chop’
zip lips of beer-sodden settlers farting faux-Native noises—
And play the name-game—
with movements that created Commanders…
