with the hairs on the back of their necks sticking

the government assures everyone
that it has the situation under control
that it is pursuing said suspects with that same quality veracity which
was spent looking for WMD’s that were never found &
bin laden
who took ten years & $4 trillion dollars to

still speaking with the fascist rhetoric that was so often used by

mr. obama & co. speak of “securing the homeland, ”
replacing the “motherland” concept of 1938
with the updated
21st century version,
but the sentiment still rings true-
stretch our borders as far as our reach can go
to preserve this sudetenland &
worry about what will follow
if & when anyone questions our actions.
