  1. Guilty
    Guilty

    There’s a little figure on the television
    scratching at the ground by a pile of rags.
    Grainy little figures on television screens
    weighing up the moment – guilty, guilty.

    What’s he doing with that stick?
    Which one is guilty?

    Back in the bunker in the operations room
    a bored soldier is eating his lunch
    while drones in their thousands are unveiled in Texas
    to roaring voices, but nobody asked us if we wanted them.

    What’s he doing with that stick?
    Which one is guilty?

    Power to the predator. The Grim Reaper.
    Grainy little suspects running for shelter.
    The drones have come in their thousands
    but nobody asked us if we wanted them.

    Rules and regulation…
