Word Paint
“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”
Philip K. Dick

Blood red
Bloodshed
First painting
Monsters
Then painting
Targets
On monster’s backs
Without abstraction
What must needs
Be considered is that
Instead of a bunker
Office hotel or airport
If the now deceased
General
or any other
Sovereign citizen
Of any * country
Was in utero
The color of
Righteous indignation
Quickly fades
After putting
Brown skin
Under brown dirt
By black holes
From even
Darker souls

(Not exactly 5th Avenue
But he did pull the trigger)

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. …

Yet somewhere
Melting clocks are
As much of reality as
The ignorance not to
Recognize that all
The effort
To save fetuses
Is so they
Can be used
For target practice **
At taxpayer’s expense
By rich people
Against poor people
Causing even
Mona Lisa to frown
.
* (You know, countries
Those drawn lines
Of division
On a map that
Magically separate
Earthling artists from
Other earthling artists
Because either their
Wavy cloth is prettier
Language is different or
Their god
Has a bigger
Dick
Then your god)
