Rose Bowl B2 Flyover 2011
Why am I appalled and not enthralled to know
That a B2 bomber from Missouri has flown
With Intricate precision to appear at exactly 8 am
Just as the Rose Bowl parade begins?
A 2 billion $ lethal killing machine which holds
Five hundred pound bomb or nuclear weapons load
How much did this cost in the current age of austerity
When are we dismantling the economic future of our posterity?
How much to fly across 2/3 of the country?
Worse, who will even think to question?
Has the military become so ingrained they are just
Part of our national experience and accepted as us?
