An entomological war crime, Completely and utterly by design. Its form, symmetric and aerodynamic, A jet, dominating the sky, Apathetic as it wages its war. Its finish, iridescent and glaring, A bullet, fired from the barrel of life, Indiscriminate as it slaughters its prey. Its methods, efficient and precise, A computer, indifferent, Uncaring as its genocides are enacted. There exists no elegance in the eyes of the dragonfly. There is only violence. Yet we overlook this. We see the beauty in the symmetry, in the iridescence, in the efficiency. We hear the engines roar And the bullets fire And the genocides unfold And we bask in the perceived allure Of a machine, Designed to **** It is fascinating the extent of our interest into things We vow never to become.

The Dragonfly
An entomological war crime, Completely and utterly by design. Its form, symmetric and aerodynamic, A jet, dominating the sky, Apathetic as it wages its war. Its finish, iridescent and glaring, A bullet, fired from the barrel of life, Indiscriminate as it slaughters its prey. Its methods, efficient and precise, A computer, indifferent, Uncaring as its genocides are enacted. There exists no elegance in the eyes of the dragonfly. There is only violence. Yet we overlook this. We see the beauty in the symmetry, in the iridescence, in the efficiency. We hear the engines roar And the bullets fire And the genocides unfold And we bask in the perceived allure Of a machine, Designed to **** It is fascinating the extent of our interest into things We vow never to become.
