future drone pilots
of america
watch them blast away
on handhelds in parks
at museums on field trips in packs
watch them shout die! die! die!
in restaurants as their parents
slip slowly into their own cellular SOMA
future drone pilots of america
smacking keyboards of rage
pulling on their mouse like a noose
locating pinpoint targets on the screen
dropping bombs of capitalistic conquest
young soldiers who at twelve years old
could take out an entire town
yet aren’t smart enough to know
their age, their birthdate, or where they live
have a body count that would
make the pentagon proud
but couldn’t articulate themselves
if they tried.
