Certain People I Could Name |
The few surviving samurai survey the battlefield |
Count the arms, the legs and heads and then divide by 5 |
Drenched in blood they move across the screen |
Do I need to point or do you see the one I mean |
The one in back, the way he acts |
Is he reminding you of anyone we know |
Isn’t he so like certain people I could name |
Halfway through the thirty minutes |
Halfway round the world |
Here’s the story on the genocidal overlord |
In the palace with her epilettes |
Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette |
Look at her, you must see it too |
Is she reminding you of anyone we know |
Isn’t she so like certain people I could name |
Disembodied and detached a voice describes the scene |
As a lizard stalks a helpless creature on TV |
Music underscores the tragedy |
Eyes with no expression watch the unsuspecting prey |
Who is it like, doesn’t it strike |
You as the very image of someone we know |
Isn’t it so like certain people--how could anybody miss |
The obvious and the uncanny and the clear resemblance |
Isn’t it just like certain people I could name |
