Artists Target Predator Drone Operators Poem by Terence George Craddock

artists create creative
powerful visual response
to daily drone attacks

all officially signed off sanctioned

reveals a critical weakness
in Common Core ELA Standards
a focus detached safe sanitary...

focused almost exclusively on mastery
of written words keyboard for efficient purposes
gaining knowledge communicating ideas

will service personal United States
trained predator drone operators
our faceless task loyal hired killers...

'... yield an involuntary blink'
a reaction to a child victim image
'before getting right back

to... comfortable slaughter groove,
pass the coffee please …' lukewarm hot
protest what will change be achieved...

an artistic brilliant practical resistance
can influence inspire humanize the rest of us
except wall disconnect foreign strangers...

a few barrier problems faceless too far away
