Darkness bristles with dangerous urgency

Intensity prickles

Chills radiate from the neck down

Military presence, daily life steam roll

Massive convoy mowing down

Win over the populace or get sniped down in the street

The trucks gun down children, families,

Everything in their path

And insurgency multiplying by the thousands

Human sausage wallpapers

The marketplace and embassies

As youth obtain the “highest honor”

More bullshit talk of stabilization
