garnished chests, vests, nestled heads-
in the crest of motherly bosoms-
shawls sobbing salutations
and long legs buckle.
hoping it's
not
too
late.
- but it is.
we've already raked missiles over
the continents wrecking
our camouflaged teeth
with our own flags waving adieu
in a stoic ode to democracy.
- what does a man think he doesn't have so much so he kills for it?
nothing and everything.
and everything is nothing
nothing but that stupid flag.
and his wife is still cold
because the flag is as old as she is.
And flags with holes
can't keep her warm,
not anymore.

leaving your country in allegiance to fight another's man war is bullshit. how tf you wanna stop fighting by fighting? "wars of honor." cut the bullshit.
nevertheless, the men and women that fight for our protection now- thank you. it's not your fault you have to clean up after this shit.
