Turret
A smiling general stood on
top of a tank for commemorative
picture before the campaign started
such images unified
country and solidified
brave and timid under a flag
until the bishop arrived to
bless the troops and sanctify
the ammunition to make sure
they will all find targets and since
this attack was already blessed
and dignified by the officials
let the trumpet sound its
marching paean and let the
troops take charge of the details
