anger, stones, axes, knives, poison, daggers,
guns, bombs, sadness, explosions, cadavers,
planes that carry, planes that ****,
all for a flag sat atop of a hill.
is that what people die for?
or perhaps the flag carries meaning,
a symbol for the destruction and loss
caused by men in pursuit of power,
men who **** because they've never lived,
condemned to their gains which lay
presented upon an alter over a warm trap door.
maybe they want to feel the flames.
maybe that's why they bring them from down below,
because they're heathens, borderline demons,
who indulge themselves in death
to make their souls breathe.

are you okay with that?
