No Kill

Sixteen years old suggested someone kill
the figurehead. The grownups jumped and said,
Uh uh – that course of action no doubt will
produce a martyr – leave the jerk undead.
Eliminate another way instead
of cartoon violence – the remedy
will not emerge from arms but from the head.
You have to search for long-term strategy.
