Flesh is commodity
guns universal
uniforms reversable
flags incontrovertible

Kimchi for Borscht
tank for a horse
fodder for force
mutual of course

Bodies for bags
medals perhaps
dictators relapse
generational gaps

Star for a Sickle
water for trickle
allegiance for fickle
too much for so Little

Blood for the soil
dollars for oil
horrors recoil
exploited for toil

Glory for States
closed borders for gates
freedom abates
oblivion awaits…
