drone
              on


he nodded miserably                                                                                                           

                                           he droned on and on and on and on and on . . . about how 
we   and make no fucking mistake   Our Country  owns the horror drones have inflicted

                                                                  if a terrorist were to nuzzle a revolvers muzzle 
at the small of our back                                                                                                                      
fire the weapon                                                                                                                 
shatter our spine                                                                                                                  
render us paraplegic                                                                                                                
affirming their act was revenge for callous US drone attacks against Middle East targets  
resulting in the unjust slaughter of innocents                                                                  
                                                                   euphemistically US says  Collateral Damage                                                                                                 
we couldnt possibly resent their attack                                                                                     
we   responsible for the action our Government takes on our behalf   are guilt

we may pity ourselves  a random plum plucked from a pie 
but no  we didnt stop it


could you accept that


could you dismiss your legs  your mobility  your sex life   knowing if money isnt in the 
offering  
               who fucks a paraplegic

                                                                               he didnt paint pretty pictures                                                                                                     
he wasnt here to paint                                                                                                          
but to relate honesttogawd images and evoke a black and white reality


he loved fucking
he loved moving about naturally  like on the day he was born

                                                                                but if a hyperspinning bullet took his 
legs                                                                                                                                        
forgave his life                                                                                                                         
he couldnt  wouldnt  find fault in their rationale

despite maniacally adamant drones were vile   were horribly wrong   were utterly 
UnAmerican
                                                                                                                         
wondering what remained American
                                                                                 hed deserve shitting in his diapers


                                              
                                                                                  that may be a terrible admission
but to say otherwise   is a more terrible lie
