one twenty fifteen
destruction instructions:
use drones to kill

Janet Kuypers
2/12/15

The new arsenal
for the U.S. military
has been to use drones
to kill Middle-Eastern enemies.

Because, you know,
with drones for killing
we’re free of friendly fire
and are saved from sniper strikes.

What a deal.
But now those drones
are used by Amazon
to send your products to you,

and these drones
are filling up he sky
invading our airspace —
the FAA’s starting restrictions...

But who listens
to the FAA anyway,
when drones with cameras

are for sale to the highest bidder?

‘Cuz I’ve got plans
for my little drone.
I’ll take that camera off.
(I don’t need to film what my

drone’s gonna do.
It might implicate me.)
Because my little hover drone
will be armed with gun turrets,

and instructions
of exactly which house
to go to, and of exactly
who to aim for. Cause you see,

I can keep
my distance,
and let my technology
do my work for me. As I said,

as long as I set
the coordinates,
right on your heart —
the way you destroyed mine,

I don’t need
to be near you
to cover my tracks and
set my destruction instructions.

I’ll watch that drone
fly off to do my bidding.
And i’ll sit back, have a drink,
and wait to hear of your ghastly death.
