The casualty list is dripping
horrible and growing
the casualty list of a war
keenly unnecessary
built of lying liars lies
misshapen half-truth sociopaths
We
George Washingtonian Americanskies
worship cherry trees
demand accountability
of our children
let murderers and liars
let them roll their foul spittle
from their tongue to ours
again on morning talk shows
in rotten rags
once cherished
we don't know how to cherish
we sing again the sad chorus
of proud death
send Johnny out again
to slaughter
bring him back in bags
look mothers in the eye
talk of pride and service
send them home with flags
their minds and hearts
forever "proud" wreckages
talk to us again of honor
ringing so obscenely hollow
honor translates
honor is known
honor rides in our car
careening
churning other's children
into the rotten
George Washington Highway
