the new torture

the government,
being a kinder and
more gentler nation,
has taken away
the extreme measures
of torture
and abuse. they have come
up with another
plan to get
the captured enemy
to talk and reveal
their secret plans.
they bring in a baby
with a full
diaper and order
them to change it,
without a mask
or gloves. one sick
baby after another
is set before them
on the changing table
until they break
and talk.
it's effective
and nearly fool proof.
you'd give up
your mother under
such adverse conditions.
