I don't know

about you,

but it seems

to me

to be

kind of wise

to decide to

refuse

to buy

that latest war

we've all seen

advertised.

in any case

when you take

it out of the box,

you usually find

the advertisers lied

and it's a fake

and not as

described.

of course

by the time

you discover

you've been sold

a crock of shit

by conmen

and spivs

it's too late

to take back

the lives

that paid

for it.
