Shadow Boxing
by drew via jill - Jungle Drum Newswire Sunday, Jan 15 2017, 7:28pm
international / poetry / post

my favourite sport
each match a world championship

i favour opponents that have a huge advantage
like States, America for instance;
outgunned, out-manned, but never outclassed
against over-equipped with uselessness
-- now evident to the world --

but the world has failed to consider
previous bouts we’ve had with America,
each weakening the cumbersome, rustic, brute

until of course the inevitable victory

America offers every possible vulnerability
to the astute shadow boxer -
guns blazing, propaganda/LIES streaming,
civilian killing, you name it, every crime in the book
and yet we are always victorious and will
prevail in the fast approaching END

are you able to fathom why we stand undefeated
against the world’s sole superpower?

we offer only shadows to fight -- after all
the sport is shadow boxing

catch us if you can,
your intel agencies can’t
even find their dicks to take a piss
or they’re too busy fabricating
‘evidence’ where none exists

... eight, nine, ten -- you’re OUT!
