Long sleep
for the American
dream
Camouflaged children
led into bullet storms
and watched over
with covered eyes
inside empty suits
They barter
in blood
and poverty
and sing the opera
of gun fire
explosions
and screams
but the
infants
are just happy
to take part
This has always
been a win-lose situation
these arid nations
drenched
in bodily fluids
because there's a downpour
of limbs and bones
and intestines
while we're left wondering
if God is weeping
or if He's singing
in the rain
