HI-TECH TRAGEDY?

Hey Man!/Women,
Boys n’ Girls, didja’ see ta’day?
160-more “flies” – 200+ withousted their wings,
torn by who-knows-who, any-more?…
32/+ blackened-in-Blacksburg!?… Hell,

WE
do this each Day/every Day! in Mesomedesia,
don’cha know, before brushing our mourning teeth,
coughing & doughnuts! – +FIVE YEARS!
But, Hey Man!, like whose counting, & counted, ‘cept the Shades, perhaps
& “Sri Smedley Butler,” in a non-General Way, eh?, but lo,

The Hi-Tech-Tragedy?, jumped-onto
like “Coventioneers at a Twenty-dollar fitchew!” and
“All The Drooze That’s Tit To Mint!”
