What if Che Guevara worked at Penn State?
Jesus never killed anyone
Gandhi never killed anyone
Martin Luther King Junior never killed anyone
But Che Guevara did
In this inverted world
Where the highest moral crimes garner the largest return on investment
I am a ten year old boy
Face against the wet tile of a steamy locker room shower
The aging bloated white Christian pervert
(At once leader, artist, brand, academy and economy)
Is inside me
When suddenly a shot rings out
And I am free
Through Che’s steel eternal death gaze
I transcend rape
I transcend “bowl game” commerce
The way a snuff film
forever transcends annihilation
Free
To forgive without forgetting
To eroticize objectification
As I see fit
Your institutions made me their host
But I too may choose to occupy instead!
