you decide

red marks the spotlight
soul-less soldier
neanderthol with a gun
sent home with nightmares
and lacking the limbs he started with.

a sightless tarantula
biting everything it feels
eight eyes, proven useless,
heightened hairy senses do this creature in.

you [AND YOU ARE THE GIVER OF SIN]
creep into the brain
____in through the ear
lead them away from
salvation and [I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW,]
true freedom is not release
from structure, religion or consequence,
but it is the sickle slicing
foreign bellies, stained from overuse.
it is the pool of red from
young women & children
taught nothing else but to
love their country or die...
see, we are their saviors [RIGHT?]
because [OH, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS,]
we teach them to love OUR country or die.
