ALL BECAUSE

ALL BECAUSE

Ricardo Antonio Garcia

Patriotic pride

silhouetted robots marching

in rows

to concupiscence

to comprehend its midst.

Guns

on shoulders smoking for War

the eyes

of Hitler’s ghost

embrace the tonality.

How do we

transcend backward

as these forces retreat forward

into a march?

Must I

love my flag, or hate my flag

when the remorse

and counter insurgencies

imply

that I am a traitor?

I see thousands

of minds and heads slaughtered

for the

impression of policy

order or takeover

these soldiers

do not know the truth

that over the glossy coat of patriotism

is the Mafia.

Minds of corruption

will lead a nation

of people into a poison trough

and most

will drink the tainted water.

Can you hear

the distant marching?

Its not far off at all-

can you barely hear them marching?

To our homeland

the powers

of government will inter you in a camp.

ALL BECAUSE

human nature made us ask questions.
