Tourists                                                                                                            

Car, train, plane or ship.

It's your choice when

you visit the green fields 

of France or Belgium.

And you can stay close or take 

an optional excursion.

It's your choice.

Well, there's money to be made. 

And you'll be moved to marvel 

at the spectacle of it all

stretched out before you.

The bright green fields over fed 

with mashed body parts and blood 

sucked out by vampires' fangs.

Look, see the white teeth crossed

in their rows upon rows

and stand proud with respect.

Snap, snap,

click, click.

Take a few pics

to join to join those of 

last year's beaches, cathedrals 

and other art installations.                                                                                

Immortalised,

lest you forget.

Respect them in their death                                                                                                                                                                                         

the ones who died                                                                                             

for whatever the country.

Respect them in death,

The yes sir, no sirs

of war and of peace.

The ones with no choices.

Remember them.

And remember the vampires.

They’re living still,

as vampires will.

Sucking the blood,

stirring the pot

and making the money.
