Swear

A famous evangelist 
In World War I
Kills men---
Thou Shalt Not Kill.

I say the occasional
Naughty Word
Which offends---
Thou Shalt Not Have Any Filthy Conversation.

In the first case,
They were fighting Raping Huns.

In the second case
I’m fighting Postmodern lies.

Some men need to be killed
And thereby break the commandment.

Some men need to be offended
And thereby break the commandment.

I see in both situations it is necessary
To suspend the rules, for the greater purpose
Of winning a war.
