Dear Pentagon

By Gerald Bosacker

____________________

 

I celebrate your new robotic elite,
the aerial killer drone technology.
Behind a far-off screen, the pilot's seat,
for attacking unsuspecting enemy,
who deny their much trumpeted defeat.
I too face hidden enemies that I can't see,
when I  patrol that same endangered street!
I need robots who die instead of me.
