Kill Baby Kill

 

The Squire of Mar-a-Lago
has royally decreed
that the Cheney Doctrine
of war for profit
is ready to proceed
just like the good old days
when any bullshit 
fishy rationalization
could get wrapped in the flag
and retro mass sold
to the gullible populace
as the new corporate patriotism

Video replays

of us blowing up

the latest boogeyman enemy

sure makes for great TV

as high ratings are guaranteed

while the arm chair generals

lecture the fired up populace

from in front of colorful maps

and regale us with tales

of great military history

It always starts 

as a grand adventure at least

til the novelty wears off

and we start tallying up the cost

that far exceeds the benefits

of yet another oil drenched mess
