all the old imperial quotes


puffed up from fifty years ago
like a wake & speech that never end
regurgitated
back to life
just to grab those last couple foundational illusions
     obedience & authority
then to polish the buttons on the uniforms
     one more time
for another war cloaked in the rhetoric
like 'we have no alternative'
but to soldier on
and protect the oil fields
for future generations
with the vast deserts of the inferno
where the abyss will rise up and find
the silent majorities
