Shooting Words back at the Powerful

(for George Monbiot)

There can be no collateral damage when

kinetic activity gives an extraordinary rendition

that cleanses the stock of fraud and error

thus neutralising operatives in compounds that bulge

of stock not worth the full wage ending powerful

benefit units of asset classes who bake and shake

then mow the lawn causing bug splats. These are not

human capital they are illegal aliens whose neutraliser

will be crowned a completer.
