They are selling death from mobile shops
right at your door; buy it, you’ve no choice.

Mercifully prices are low: only the cost
of a bullet assuring quick and clean despatch.

You can also get it free: the machete doling it out,
a gasping moment, too, for the last dying look

at the hazing landscape: blank, remorseless eyes,
vultures hovering overhead, human fragments

diminishing man, and a few stray blooms
frightened into colours on roadside shrubberies.
