Muscle memory remembers twitch as motion
yesterday rats strayed, fled from the ship while at dock
Shock and awe to storm the desert, turn sand to glass
intense heat to melt white candles of devotion
secondary waves blast tectonic plates, seismic
thrusts from flanks and hips, Baghdad quakes all of Iraq
enters the struggle, overwhelmed without the brass
reserved for tactics by followers of Sun Tzu
Sinister warfare, for what reason, strategic
muscle memory, to flex the might of the sword
insanity drives leaders to believe their grief
transcends all distress, suffer a dissonant chord
euphony of bombs, explosions with no relief
sounds and a felt-sense, gestalt shapes the old one-two
Gigantic fists punch holes with rockets through the air
instantaneous, unmerciful stealth fighters
attack from Palmdale, Plant 42 for design
neurotic generals demand the best for their share
tactical pilots carpet bomb the capital
suck it up, D.C., politicians and writers
itch to make it big like the Kennedys, they pine
not for happiness but for notoriety
apple pies wave flags, jingoistic cannibal
Stung by the proud boys, shock and awe in the Senate
tickle the right keys, the ivories, white makes right
institutional racism proves a tenet
notable for lies, from Bush to Trump, faceless might
give me Socrates, his death for impiety
