Who Even Knew

Before this psychotic

Cringe worthy

Binge unworthy

Series started

That “we” were still

At war with Russia

I thought that ended with

“War Games” and “Rocky IV”

I’ve been going about my business

Like the only people

We are at war with

Was ourselves

You?
.

Except for those Bushwhacked

Skirmishes of distraction for oil

Where rich people in white houses

Send poor people to die in the sand

.

Must be a page out of the

Orwellian playbook

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

George Orwell, 1984

.
Not sure about other countries

But apparently merikkka needs

To have an external enemy

Beyond the internal ones

Teams, religion, blue states

Red states, races, genders etc.

“I don’t mind about the war, that’s one of the things I _like_ to watch, if it’s a war going on, ’cause then I know if our side’s winning, if our side’s losing…”
