If we lose
It's all over
I'll renounce my citizenship
Burn my passport
And put the ashes in acid

Which has more at stake?
The game or the war?
Humiliation or Attrition
Camp followers
Fanboys
All reason right at the back
Far behind the Wags and Widows

Drone
Sea-drone
USV
Under-system Vehicle?
Robot Navy

Unable to comprehend
land or sea
Is a fisherman a pirate
or is a pirate a fisherman?

Await self-awareness
Do drones have souls?
Right down to
Davey Jones' locker

AWOL Drone
Flying Dutchman?
Or resident of Airstrip One?

[When I don't respond
to manipulative thought-control
So the dead talk to me
No-one else has anything
Interesting to say]
