Drone Bomb You
Lawrence Joseph
Oh, I want to care and I want you to make me care, if you can.
But, we won’t get anywhere if you claim to know the hearts of men better than I do.
Show us what was there and now we have to know that there’s nothing there.
Let us see a house and a yard, so it doesn’t feel that far from here, it’s a place that we’ve been to.
Tell me something to make it it real.
Don’t admonish me.
Paint a picture: he was lying in a field.
And content if we let him be.
But don’t say I drone bomb you.
And then you drone bomb me.
I’ve now no choice, I drone bomb you
And you must answer drone bomb me.
Sometime later I drone bomb you.
Because you drone bomb me.
It starts anew, drone bomb you.
And then you drone bomb me.
