On the battlefield
you gleefully wielded
your saber
with two hands
to slice their throats
You stuck in earplugs
though
when the gurgling began;
and turned away
at the first drop of blood
Lack of witness
absolved you
of ownership
or remorse
Collecting kills
was easy;
collecting corpses
was a more difficult
task
Perhaps gas
next time
to avoid the messiness;
and a getaway car
with a vanity plate
that lets everyone know
how great you are
you gleefully wielded
your saber
with two hands
to slice their throats
You stuck in earplugs
though
when the gurgling began;
and turned away
at the first drop of blood
Lack of witness
absolved you
of ownership
or remorse
Collecting kills
was easy;
collecting corpses
was a more difficult
task
Perhaps gas
next time
to avoid the messiness;
and a getaway car
with a vanity plate
that lets everyone know
how great you are
