The sun came up
again today
except for those
blown away
in the war
down the street
brought to us
by
pull the wool
over your eyes
if you don’t like
what you see
the new reality show
that makes it possible
for you to
end up dead
no matter what part
you play.
You can
get down on
your knees
and wail over
the torn open bodies
of family and friends
or
find yourself eliminated
by those
posing as the civilians
you are there
to liberate
your life back home
going up in smoke
while those
in the driver’s seat
intone soulfully
in the distance
about sacrifices
of every type
virgins
one and all
that must be made
for a chance
in the
prime time war
to become a star.
