Sky Stained with Tones of Red

Published Works

Sky stained with tones of red 
dripping faucets correct the marching soldiers 
 as they blossom towards their murder 
 Screaming cries of patriotic nonsense 
 in souvenirs of  flags and medals 
 that they'll be presented with 
 either on chests or graves 
  
Breath tinted with lust 
war drums pounding in the celestial 
 sanctuary of the broken hearted puzzle 
 which demands to be reconciled 
 with its own sense of disaster 
 green dressed robots parading 
 in their endless lines of death 
  
Heart caressed by hate 
speeches offered by suit and tied gremlins 
 that stay at home under their beds 
 while the young men travel far 
 bringing their disease like a plague 
 moronic images of courage driven 
 into their underdeveloped minds 
someone has declared a police action 
 once again someone will die
