1 SOP

I

Made easy by deceitfully holding out
the supremely ironic fairy-tale promise
of its cure-all code-word tonics
— namely safety security freedom —

the Empire of Lies' SOP requires
that increasingly appealingly disguised
forms of enslavement
and modes of surveillance
are brought to bear on our lives

requires
that through the effective deception
of projecting a virtuous impression;
that via rhetorical moral posturing
with its Oscar-worthy pretense
of championing all things ethical

unconsciously triggered aspersions
are cast upon those who dissent;

are cast upon vigilant thinkers
who scoff at sanitized versions
of what classified info would show
were covert ops and false flag events;
cast upon those who scoff at claims
of noble goals and wholesome intent.

III

Considering
the magnificent doublespeak pretexts
of R2P and 'humanitarian intervention'

along with color revolutions
financed and fomented
by dedicated destabilization agents
on subversive foreign missions
<...>
one wondered what more-demonic
the heinous apparatus of empire
could have possibly wanted

that it hadn't already produced
through the usual tried-and-true
divide-and-rule devices
of cultivating chaos and conflict
and sustaining states of crisis.

2 Paying the Bloody Bills

When the bread grows so scarce
it hasn't time to go stale
and the circuses fail to fully distract

empires require
police-state-propping cops
to keep the teetering domestic peace
in the shadow of looming collapse;
<...>
and the warfare state does all that it can
to pummel the face of the human race.

Slaughter abroad repression at home
the workers pay for the bankstered wars
propaganda works hard to have them condone.
