Criminal Buttons
BUTTONS
No swords
No spears
No shields
No arrows
No horses
ONLY BUTTONS
Risk-free, time saving wars
Mass killing weapons.
Just press the button.
Out of your finger tips;
Wrapped in a deadly
bullet,
bomb
or
missile
Death miles away travels
Before it
Indiscriminately hits
Men,
Women,
and
cherubs
Killing every living creature
PRESS THE BUTTON
Blood Rivers will stream along beaten roads
Sweeping every trace of every refinement
Painting every city wall purple red.
HAVE A SPREE
PRESS THE BUTTON
Death slowly floats down
Mingles with the air they inspire
Before it tickles their defenceless lungs
With lethal poison
Heaping the streets with lifeless corpses
But generously
Preserving buildings for victims’ heirs.
HAVE NO FEAR.
PRESS THE BUTTON.
You will never see the horrors of your act.
You will never see your victims ’eyes.
Your victims would never know their slaughterer.
No swords
No spears
No shields
No arrows
No horses
BUTTONS ONLY.
