THEY WON'T BE STOPPING ANYTHING
Alexander Martin Remollino


They threaten to stop helping the soldiers of this country
because we insist on keeping the rapist of "Nicole"
behind our own bars?
They had better make good on that threat:
they won't be stopping anything to begin with.

What help have they given the soldiers of this republic?
Nothing, except to equip them with enough ammunition and arms
to make them lose in conventional warfare.

To hell with their mutual defense.
Their mutuality is a one-sided affair:
we defend them --
and we defend ourselves.

And they've pulled out of the joint exercises. Good for us!
The joint exercises are just rehearsals,
just rehearsals for the soldiers of this republic
in shooting off the emaciated hands
that feed them
and clothe them.

They won't be stopping anything to begin with,
so they had better make good on their threat
to stop helping the soldiers of this country.
