"Hands up who wants to die,"
and so we came inside,
naked down to the waist,
dripping in sweat, how great
sons of war heroes burn,
urns full of ashes, learn
proper etiquette, kill
who in affirmative
holds hands high, regardless
of our deceitful web,
who imagines our game
as thoughtlessly inane,
no donkey dung beside
the road, we walk the line,
senseless, this ring of fire,
to walk slow down the aisle,
our intentions, certain,
damned were we to care if,
in all likelihood, they
ended up kneeling, prey.
