Five hundred towers crumble. thrones parachuted on spinal cords, falling flat into city streets occupied by scavengers. Ten factories close doors, tracing lines on cement of pay stubs half burnt: draft cards for this new war. One million fathers cried, unable to love their sons without enforcing the same brutal tactics used against them at work.

I may add more to this one. It's missing pieces.
