~ Tomorrow's Headlines ~
Walls and fences, are full of suspicions
Their very names, carve them into being
Fenced in, walled up, I breathe in the perfume
Of their disenchantment,
For this atmosphere is not a tonic
But a bloody breeding groundÂ
For their germs of war,
Which remain an evil,
Yet unborn....
It has no taste through distillation
Odorless, it molds for many years
Before its spores become air born
And ripened enough, to be considered
Deadly intent.....
        ~ OR ~
The beaded sweat, on the underbellyÂ
Of stealth bombers,Â
Where Army pilots, following orders,
Have a waltz with her, and her tangosÂ
Which become, her political whispers
And gracefully dance as feinted rumors
That again, dry her sweat,
Glow in the aftermath of her collateral damage
And boldly claim the spoils of war
Which are again, fenced in, and walled up,
Behind the armor of the vault of government,
Where, as simple suspicions
They are carefully disguised
And woven intoÂ
The food for thought,
That we happily ingest,
As,
Tomorrow's Headlines....
