no designer clothes who am I? POW # 9

In this land Infallible and uncouth

Shirts no-shirts determine

Who’s the enemy take pride in infiltrating

Aisles of people who serve their god

We decide who to kill more bombings

Causalities rise under me no one wins

But I am the victor fix me with an IED

Go to Paris I hate Gucci jack-in-the-box suits me best

I can take my pistol and blow you away and no one

Would suspect me I am the victor I have lost

    Don't know who to put this down to, but must be a politician.

    Hi Pamela,

    At least by being late I've let everyone else do the hard work! A powerful poem that emphasises the man's bellicose nature.

    Haven't heard enough about him to have guessed this. TBH, I was going with a generic suicide bomber, so I was way off!

    Pamela--You cut to the quick in this piece. I am quite impressed by your ability to define an individual! The phrase aisles of people struck me...we're lined up and nameless. Makes it easier to kill that way, doesn't it?

    What a powerful poem, Pamela! And you're right, the man is a disgrace to his uniform and to his country.
