our mechanical military

what does evil
look like?

a machine
that can
kill.

without reason.
without conscience.
without a face.

like any action
hero, it can go any
where; destroy any
thing.

it can take out
a bus filled with
adolescent enemies;
a passenger plane; or a
village.

it doesn’t eat.
it doesn’t sleep.
it doesn’t care.

what color should we
paint it? black
would be too
obvious & camo, too
bland.

we’ll make it
it look like a
little girl, a
baby carriage or a
kitten to
add an element of
surprise.

of course, it
will have no
insignia––

that way, we can
sell it to our
friends.
