You Admire the Presidents Who Send Drones
peaceably; parse peace as secretly still
killing in another country; make pacts
with Satans in silence; are serpents in
serpenticides, murdering civilians.
You admire the ones who win this system

like to elect a woman to drone this
American sound, if she can do it silently;
in the name of reform; fresh
stangnance; stasis; stoppage of left fields. Yes
you admire the presidents who send drones.
