you haven’t been shot or stabbed or drone bombed
because it’s enough to watch the curated highlights
behind the safety of the resolute desk
keep lying to get through each quicksand day
yammer out fifteen-point plans and demands for abject surrender
those things don’t work with angry theocrats
willing to murder their own citizens in the streets
(in far greater numbers than Stephen Miller’s ICE corps)
and transport their rage to other parts of the Middle East
but, hey, you carved a deep scar
onto the surface of the world stage
and discovered the dogs of war you let slip
won’t return immediately after you call them
