Basin eyes and Red Fantasies
As I slumped into rest; into Fantasies of night's Dreams, so empty was the Voice of my Liberty: others Liberty. those ugly Dwellings of strange faced men I wished to die, for those screens told me why. O' should the private homage of War say– to free a people?
The percussion of the bombs; those groaning Sirens of strafing plumes, plummeting like Cirrus clouds overhead. The harassed screeching of the Guns, Machines jumping bullets into the earth in a Cluster of thrashing dust, boring out the flesh of those; smothering up the air with spits of silt and blood disguised in black.
A mad infused ferocity of screams; the Horrors of deranged, clipped-macabre perfumes, stirred in a mixing pot of rifle Flash– fringing peripheral– and All minds blazing in a spherical stove of Silent alarms; a Blotched out memoranda of Follies dwelled on in violent Reels.
For the floor is now a roofless grave of Children, Fathers, Uncles– half-human; a mesh of limbs sprawled across battered Pavements, licked up by a Battery of mayhem. But look at them... their eyes are dead now as they were before, cramped wicked into a forced Congregation, plastered to the ground; clothes incinerated– those naked flesh heaps of things– monstrous things that had held breath in their lungs, laughed like us.
Curtesy of King, Queen and Country, Patrie, Uncle Sam and so on a so forth. Hammered into the Hero who saw a floor of rodents, because his mind had been stolen by the Epithet. Those things brandished discoloured faces to him, and wore the Uniform of the depraved.
So– good hearted, Righteous men; Heroes so we must say. Who hang on Hues, as would I; Seeing those and no more– Kill, maim, Torture– In my Name and in Liberty.
Soldiers: Shoot at the ground if you must, for the barrel can't rise fast enough to bludgeon those evil. Shoot at him again– at his chest this time, to Scrape out from his soul an unwilling passion of blood; wrench out a Monstrosity of cries he had not wished to share with us.
For we are the murderers: Righteous murderers.
