SCARLET (SUN TSU AND THE ART OFHISTORY CHANNEL)

SCARLET (SUN TSU AND THE ART OF
HISTORY CHANNEL)

that’s why
they were redcoats

fuck the Boers
the American fronteirsmen
we got the insects
to give us the dye

and tomato sauce
leaking out everywhere
hardly can
notice it if
in a scarlet uniform

so much tomato sauce
needed at the field hospitals

soaking
into no man’s land

never in the field
of human conflict
ever so wantonly shed

and so
back to the show

millions subscribing
loving, watching
this channel
     taking it all in
tripping
   on the carnage
of our human past

more effort
sacrifice
        needed to
forever resurrect
rebrand
      this pantomime

without which
the legacy of all we are
a thing
    without sauce

old monochrome
meaningless

HISTORY CHANNEL

HISTORY CHANNEL (KIND OF REMEMBER ME THAT SIEGFRIED SASSOON) watched a video on World War One who started it who finished it who went who stayed at home who came back like my Mother’s Dad big gong of a medal around his soft young neck which is just as well otherwise wouldn’t be here myself to waste your time as Siggie’s bishop himself didst poetically proclaim the ways of God being satirically strange watched a video on the channel on World War One same as the last one same people won
