Whose playbook is this

…….War to cover up inadequate leadership, these numbers on these dice have been rolled before, with a slightly altered script, same plot and  a updated scene decor, the military’s the key grip once more, Domitian should be the name of this blockbuster score, I have no suspicions on how it will end, the revelations of John all over again, no need to reframe from isolation, cause human beings keep doing the same things in heavy rotation, internal struggles must be the explanation, everything’s a blur, because of the enormous speeds these things occur, but don’t get it confused, we’re still technological animals who just lost their fur.

    A poem of political and social comment over current events and biblical implications. Well written

    Nothing like an external war to keep the population in line with a heady brew of Patriotism Nationalism and Jingoism.

      It’s been done before, and it will continue to be a play and a ploy… that Americans fall for like the Romans did. When the bully needs to feel strong, punch the little guy in the face…

        Got that right. Keep on telling it like it is.
