speaking the language

can't always pen those
upbeat rhythms
sometimes a writer likes
to get down and dirty
like a bluesman
telling his truth in a gravel voice
altered by an austere biography
from the other side of the tracks
it's us and them !
ahh, the romance
you gotta love
the simplicity
the vietnamese know
what terrorists look like
so do the elders
in nagasaki
but these didn't match
any of the neo-definitions
man, who should have the authority
to decide all this
what nation, group, sect
organization has the final say
to send out the all-points bulletins
to nail up the wanted posters
on every protruding telephone pole,
shit, industrial slaughter alone
is so sophisticated it puts a three piece suit
on barbarism
makes the psychopath
not seem like such a bad guy
the language of war
is the king's english
