DROPPING WORDS, EDUCATIONAL WARFARE
by ERIC
Lethal injection
Sharp minds
Cause mental dissection
Of the past way
Of educational warfare technician
Intelligence is decapitated and split again
Cleavers towards the heads of thought
Bullets and Uncle Sam are thrown onto tables in classes
Seek peace
When war was so ever sought
To happen
Nuclear bombs replace m-80’s as fatal attractions
Videogames transition into live grenades
A magnet in the circular office is cause for the action
Tragedies tragic
Middle Eastern remains scattered
Whatever matters
The troops are sent into
They are trained to handle
The media devours
Slinging propaganda
In hours
Kill an insurgent
Take a non-threatening wound
Exclaiming that something to be proud of
Twin towers turned powder
Oil the source of power
Burning currency
Purging into a state of the quiet man
To become louder
Leaving the defenseless without umbrellas
Unable to deflect the chemical showers
