The Warld

Bullets and kayak boats same stealth.
Ammunition adorn green belts.
Compasses showing guidance to city squares.
A dummy grenade thrown like a baseball.
The swing of a turbo fan same as an airfol.
The nervous system an arrangement for aircraft boneyards.
The heart stops a mountain erupts.
The earth just a wasteland for cadavars.
The motherboard an image for soldier's warehouses.
Your alarm a ticking timebomb.
Cable wires turned to razor wires.
Funds shipped in vessels.
Vessels the same colors as the badges on seargents uniforms.
Military dog tags like the license plates on our boots.
The conflict all around us taking the shape of our physical domain and yet so unannounced.
