Security
More guns,
bigger bombs, longer range missiles,
Thicker
armour, smarter drones, firm allies,
Control of
the land, the oceans, the skies,
Compliant
nation of bellumophiles,
A leader
blessed with infallibility,
Martialled
prelates to assure the laity
That they
have conscripted the deity;
Add political
instability.
Meanwhile
the bottom-liners try to gauge
Where the
rarest rare earth minerals lie,
The
cost/benefit of those who will die
And the
profits to be made from carnage.
Behind
rhetoric, where’s the surety?
Only real
change can secure security.
D. A.
