They would bomb because their syntax confuses them,
Not understanding the holy body’s need.
(Deeply we embrace: zero, one and then somehow
To infinity, but all along the road …)
They would bomb because they are afeard ‘n trapped
In their monstrous towers of false logic,
Tragic egos jerking their bloated beef-fed,
drug-dazed, porn-dulled, neon-hypnotized flesh.
They would bomb because they are stupid.
The cockroach has more sense and humanity.
They would bomb because we here are concerned
More with rhyme and meter and royalties.
I would that words had power in peace
to turn all the planes to dust, and all the guns
and other nasties to fertile piles of loam.
