Wars on Paper

Some people still care about the possibility of nuclear war,
like they did in the '50's, when the school kids practiced taking cover under their seats.
Other people believe that the pursuit of power has no limits on the manipulation of science, morality or linguistics.
Around the bend and beyond the pale
they don't get freaked out by the agenda's exterior ennui,
like Buddhist monks they feel the unseen and say it exists for its own sake.
Monks go in and mind their own business-- like lying on a beach for the day.
these guys are natural born pick pockets and of the cloth for violent thought,
bringing nirvana's resources to the surface to puff them up, primed to make war to make a point.

They believe their toughness will make the other guy eat his anger and get choked up with cancer.
They have a my-violence-is-better-than-your-violence mentality
and believe that any blowback will not affect them personally because they keep their asses tight with security apparatuses to protect their vain glory and pathetic luxuries---what shock and shut-up in Iraq was all about.
And all that was got was blood, mud and the dust of the dead.
And that was no where near the Big One ,
The big hate maker keeping the heartless appear as if they have something pounding in their chests;
pumping faith in the big numbers of wars on paper.
