Navy Blue Angels fly over. Air Force Thunderbirds fly over.
Offal Office to South Lawn, War House warlords walk on
Blood. 
Warlords rob babies bellies paying for schoolhouse slaughters,
hospital, apartment building, and fishing boat bombings —
Money for star-spangled savagery — but not for SNAP!

Bellicose chants of  “U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!” accompany thuds of elbows
and barely-gloved fists slamming into skulls — ICE-style red, white and blue 
beatdowns. Law of the jungle. Survival of the fittest. Grifters celebrate building
of the country on gun smoke, bullwhips and chains … Parasitic, spiritually dead,
weapons systems worshipers kneel before 2,000 lb. bombs. In God they trust. In
blood they lust for War Of The Week. Not defeating tag team Hunger-Homelessness.

Dog-eat-dog capitalist competition, octagon or Pentagon.
Cruel Reich Cult of Boss Tweet’s burns through billions 
building their fascist “Freedom 250” brand, worshipping
Violence.
While another Washington / Wall Street war of choice shuts the Strait
of Hormuz, making food and fuel prices skyrocket, picking our pocket.

An African-American freedom fighter once said, “Violence is as American as
cherry pie!” What’s next? Cockfighting; dog fighting; bullfighting; witch burnings; 
beheadings; televised live executions, South Lawn lynchings; sending the lions in;
Fox-hole fighting, WWI-style, with live ammunition and mustard gas?
Or … caging the Cruel Reich Cult at The Hague and forcing them to fight facts.
Battle overwhelming evidence in civilized trials The People united conduct?
