Siege - Dustin Vado

The bridges are burned,
a standard operating procedure.
No one in or out,
they culture them in a petri dish
growing hunger in a barren medium
and take notes on the death of innocence,
coldly.

The hypothesis is certain.
Stir crazed men desperate
to fertilize the medium do so with iron,
the desired outcome seen through
a narrow lense.

Drawn to the streets to scuttle manners,
they are eliminated one by one
with antibodies of lead.

They will not be collected.

Empty vessels of viruses
are left to be scavenged
by masterless, hungry dogs.

Years of this…
Incredible that after this experiment,
the baker sells cupcakes on a blood stained street
surrounded by laughing children.
