Lest we forget...hypocrisy, eugenics and societal re-militarization...remember the dictators as we listen to the new dictators speeches...

We are becoming militarized
herd animals glued to team sports
our congregation
or skin
against theirs

when we can round people up
cleanly
make life cleaner
would we then
have such an outcry?

Fly our troops
to new lands
where our tyrants
would have a claim
and our sons
will kick in their doors
and search their houses

make way for oil
and afghan heroin
opium of dreams
fueling machines
of death and subjugation

we say we do this
not
for our god
or money

but for some other reason
we save you

yes,
with armour
and uniforms
we save you

from yourselves

and our profit
is a
consequence
