Polonium

a spy novel unleashed in forty-five minutes

with more players than a Halo Three frag session,

all because everybody has dirty laundry and the

price goes to the highest bidder or because principles

mean more than that, 

this is what happens when somebody tries to

play multiple sides against the combined harmonic,

geometric and arithmetic measures of central

tendency,

you wind up getting burned by radioactive fallout

because the story is that exotic so the poison has

to be that exotic,

Litvinenko learned that the hard way when he tackled

the establishment of the world's biggest regime,

Yuschenko learned that the hard way without having

to leave the boundaries of his own country,

whatever happens, the world is sometimes a place

that is complicated needlessly or not and sometimes

playing with polonium or dioxin achieves a greater good,

whatever that means,

the world is a needlessly complicated place
no matter what anyone says

"the world is a needlessly complicated no matter
what anyone says'
The poem took me to many places and thoughts. I don't play any type of video games. Vision is real bad. I believe no-one have a grasp on this world. It is like a fireball rolling down a huge mountain unstoppable heading in the wrong direction. No weakness in the excellent poem.

Thank you, Coyote. This was written after seeing one of the many crime dramas I watch. It took me many places.
