KOMMANDOS
SONDERKOMMANDOS
On October 7 1944 Crematorium IV
was blown up The Kommandos a special
squad of slaves at Auschwitz were shot on
the spot The women from the munitions
plant the gunpowder smugglers were tortured
& hung in the Auschwitz courtyard Thousands
of lives were saved & the war ended 22 days later
Today we fight peacekeepingmissions using religious
scholars +air strikes a.k.a. the new boots on the ground
On Tuesday Turkish +U.S. officials warned that Kobani
would fall to the IS yet each looked to the other to take action
As our own Justin Trudeau weighed in with: Let’s whip out our
CF-18s and show them how big they are?
It seems that transcendence has disappeared & in it’s place
inferiority These are crude +inelegant times I have heard it
opined by Generals that the West should remove itself from
ancient battles The infidel only stirs up the beasts Close Borders
Stop the Planes In the end Ebola may even reign supreme
Somewhere there is a lone man building a raft straight out to sea
without compass or map he relies on augury The oracle is troubled
& struggles with this botch this predicament of modern paralysis in
the face of depravity She wants to shake us from our addle & wonders
if good old annihilation might not do the trick A wipe the slate clean
prognostication On the house out of her love for humanity
