Casus Belli
In money we believe.In superstition we trust.Fill the offering basketAnd present yourself for duty. Preach fire to your Facebook choirAnd get your social media fixWith sacramental podcasts and tweetsFrom the pantheon of agitprop. Videotape your obsessionsFor anonymous voyeurs’ delight.Let Tik Tok compel your attentionAs your mind fills the void it deserves. Arouse your conspiracy’s fervorOn the way to gaining likes and shares,While the women and the childrenFall in on the refugee trail. Soon your ego’s grown bloatedLike those dead army mulesLying by the side of the roadIn a war correspondent’s photo. If your house gets eggedOn the first day of war,You can expect that escalationIs just a hand grenade away.
