For Your Security, Freedom & Democracy

by Luke Eastwood / July 13th, 2014

The avenging eagle sweeps down,
No longer napalming or waterboarding;
The white flash of phosphorus burns the eyes,
As the flesh crisps and falls away –
An endless feeding frenzy
For an appetite that cannot be sated.
Give us your hearts and minds,
And failing that…
Your oil and your corpses
Will do damn fine.
