WHY?

WHY?

why beat the shit
out of them?

surely
with your massive
military industrial complex

your have
more refined, tech-
savvy solutions

or because
since universities began
in medieval Arabia
and Europe must
you go dark
ages on them
besiege these encampments
like you are Temujin’s
horde

ransacking for forage
throwing defenders
down the battlements
all to
    show and
tell lesson them
how Plato’s children
and great grandchildren
should scholastically behave
