looting with honour

the carte blanche exhibitionists have the cunning down
and are running things their way

they have what amounts to tarot readings to explain the bleedings
of humanity stuck with the bad luck of being on the receiving end of
the asymmetrical shock treatments in the streets


the alligator smiles are a permanent fixtures
no fad
of wicked religions
or the smart hooting of professors good at guessing and bursting
with the learnedness and lethal paraphernalia
needed for looting with honour


all legal according to the tank crews taking a break but still shaking with the paranoia
programed to send a message
that it's either sweat or blood that will be your primary contribution.

it's your pick
but accidents do happen
