BLAGO

by Andrew Hilbert


He sees himself
like Gandhi
or MLK, Jr

He sees himself
as a martyr
for the people

He's innocent
he says
he speaks

He's the reverse
of Nixon
he says

To be a savior
like Jesus
with no disciples

Messiah
Martyr
Crusader

All these things
in his head
but not Governor

Andrew Hilbert has a degree in History at Cal State Long Beach and lives in Orange County, California.
