Red War, Cold War

Never should have in 1950.

Consumerists bullets fighting Commie ideals.

Our freedom being more right then,

And now.

Demilitarized zone sure seems gun packed,

Filled with eager trigger fingers,

Practicing their bee-like drills:

Ready for the looming threat

That we created.

This rocket induced frenzy,

Solid 20th century throwback,

Is tiresome: space-age races replaced with

Unsettling economic inequality

And orange man fear.

From red war, to cold war,

And back again.

War is always in season.
