Thanks Alot General
Drones embedded in the crotch of battle
while the white-collar generals
bark orders from remote hills.
Every now and again
patting our virtual heads.
Never telling us the vital things
although we draw much closer to death.
After the dust settles
after the invisible devils are beaten back
after the masks are packed away.
The generals will come back
puffy chested-well tanned.
Vocal chords revving
patting each other on the back.
Give themselves a piggy's raise
and reward us with a lunch pass.
