b-t-c in his own b movie

 blustering foul words

lambasting all around him

blaming anyone but self

bewailed by those who wish him to fall

bravo-ed by those who use him

as bait to bamboozle opponents

who believe that in bewailing the clown

they are bombarding the agenda

                                               —poor Bluffo

end justifying

caught in its own war crimes

command center beneath

a children’s hospital where newborns die without electricity to operate

their incubators

these little ones, offspring not of the enemy

but of its own people already

by decision condemned as sacrifice

for world propaganda

such utter devotion to cause

without reverence for human

right to live

is truly terrifying
