Dear War Machine

Founded in the 1910s
in the lands of the free
(Andrew Jackson killed you
for the previous 70 years)
 
Should we call or write
about that “loan”
you suddenly pull in?
 
Did you take my signature  
as a loan
and fraudulently convert?
 
Now you come along
to companies like
Rebel News
to bloody harvest
 
what you already stole?
not value to me
you don’t say?
But value to you?
 
Expanding credit
as you sell bonds  
with signatures to pay
for all these hands
 
reaching out  
for equal  
consideration

Maybe you should
tenderly retreat
and retract the
money grab?
