Consequence

 

Whatever happened to those noble mountain men,

darlings of the media,

Ronnie’s holy warriors,

freedom fighters, locked

and benevolently loaded?

 

And do monumental errors

have a domino effect

in a land where the one eyed man is king?

 

And who are these dirty radicals

decapitating Capitol,

where did they get Kalashnikovs

and did they pay in dollars?

 

And how do we remove from every breast

a sense of injury

when this is not collateral,

when this is consequence?
