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
