drunken mulberry
bush wine with M16's
and Kalashnikovs
bare breasted women
in torn magazines
firing rounds and neglecting
the flank
blackened eyes
and children without shoes
empire demands
we stay the course
and feed the hungry animal
again and again
my cage is too good
it rubs me raw
and festering sores
rankle and bite
brains splattered
and legs
blown off
working security at
the mall
is a little different
why do they sell so much stuff
to people who have no FUCKING CLUE.
