(the homo sapien sort)
sans guns
sans bombs
sans nuclear this
sans semi-automatic that
with limbs and internal organs fully intact
(unsevered unexploded unblown every which way and
crimson pulp scattered
across the four corners or infinite curves
of earth)
like bees without stingers
flies without wingers
birds without singers
or human beings without
(heinous hatred sordid suffering tormented tragedy vicious vengeance)
lives
