honey bee — [G] (iii)

this is not just about
those responsible
who place their innocents
for their enemies to kill

this is not just about
those enemies
who quickly kill as requested

this is not just about
the observers
who cry horror at the photos and the stats
who reward those who placed the innocents
with gold and poll results

nor is this just about
the slaughterers elsewhere
their psychopathic fantasies
to slaughter those
beloved by their God
