World War III

And they annihilate
the enemy with
machine gun fire
piercing them at
a hundred words
per minute
bringing down their
forts with extensive
email blasts
tweets dropping on them
like bombs from
giant birds in
the sky

Mercenaries hide
behind the trenches of
their keyboards
blogging to kill
reputations
without mercy or
concern

Gas attacks on
social media
poison the minds of
child and adult alike
when it comes to
polluting Thought
there is equality for
everyone

And they feared that
World War Three would
start with nuclear attacks
but oh, us humans
we are much more clever
than that

The flesh burns easily
in a hail of fire
but it is the mind
that must truly be
conquered

The war begun long ago
and no one truly noticed
