Inspired by a chat on ICQ with a 'Gulf' veteran


Spitting bugs drop from overhead, their sting leaving their mark.
A burn; an itch; often death or, fatal illness, less stark
than the mental scars a lifetime, of service & dedication embeds
in human psyche - empathy; compassion; or, guilt - the silent dread:

For the spitting, stinging vermin are man made & terminal.
Not content with natures plagues & cullings, man needs reign capital -
the peak of autocracy - with a show of superiority as authority rules
contributing to genocide & anger; proving man as puppeteering fools:

Authority pits man on human; God against church; kin opposing self
& seeks approval of indoctrinated cronies, accumulating wealth;
presumably what makes the world go round:  Obsolete is love -
it holds not, the instant gratification of power; abominations glove.

The glove!  Coated in crude velveteen; it beckons with false pride.
Offering vision of righteous indignation taking the naive for its ride
Making them uniform & select; honed to doctrines focus,
as they march out stiff & proud to perform authorities 'hocus pocus'.

Craft takes toll; victims return - or, not - from learnt filth
& try to mentally justify their role as assassins without stealth.
Shameful? That man developed warmongering as skill called 'blame art'.
If you want peace don't look for it in humans; turn to your own heart.
