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.
