oil, diamonds, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium,

As long as your markets
        hunt across margins
into definition, giving us dirt behind the nails
behind the eyes, behind enemy lines
these are enemy lines, they spell untoward
teeth spilled from cardboard pockets
when they bring the tanks in.
Now the corpse has a name
but it is not the world
who’s one step is swollen
by the way it is drawn.
a fine boat has managed
raw material for a prior engagement
i am sworn to the resource
but no one has called me beautiful
or convinced me to trade the swept passage
for the chance to see the music
snipers drown in their chests
as they release the trigger mechanism
trigger mechanism
trigger mechanism
which triggers mechanism on a global front
displacement & isolationism
fraud & /ˈdʒɛnəsʌɪd/ [genocide]
cooking up vestige
and sounds you blame on machetes
from inside the truck
on the way back to the Green zone
