RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “The Unofficial Mission”

The Unofficial Mission

Sleek

And silent

The 52 birds knife up through Da Nang tropical air

And when over their target

Spawn the hot roe of doom

Upon the suspecting unsuspecting below

Leaks to the Fifth Estate

“NAPALM BURNS AND MAIMS 700”

In a private conference the generals and politicos are Most Disturbed

Shouting “God damned press bastards”

While millions with temporary interest

Gobble down the evening meal gawking the evening news

And agree with the generals

That it was the gooks, commies, Ho and Cong

With their propaganda machine

Smith and Jones thought it all deserved less attention

After all war is war

So open up another can of beer and switch to Hogan’s Heros and Rat Patrol

Where was and will

War films fun and

Painless
