for George Grosz
insightful grosz
saw right through surreal estate lunkheads
he'd display materialismo
with much sensitivity
standing firm he'd swipe at
all the tripe of human weakness
drawing from the deepest
darkest pits he could find
with a smirk he'd swoop
and grasp the zeitgeist by its throat
in death-defying loops his brush
de-mystified brutality
absolutely dramatizing
discontent with breathlessness
pointing out the depth of cruelties
in his awful era
populations made to suffer
at behest of financiers uh
sounds familiar doesn't it
oozing undeniable wit
grosz a peerless social critic
ripped away the smokescreens
before awfulness
he foretold
