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
poems 2 die for
