Capital Punishment

Fragile crepe petals wave:
poppies, blue and red.

__________Morpheus
crafted a puzzle
_____to solve you,
__________your beautiful
mind a cloud
_____cut loose from the moon.

Hatchet men bled you to soon
_____into the gourd
a Masai warrior, tall and dignified,
_____tips to my lips.

I don't suppose dung stuck
_____in that mortal wound
__________will help you one bit.

The fall of man is what irascible
four-star generals in sunglasses
__________had aimed for.
_____Some said, "Quit."

Others got gypped, and the remainder
won just what you bought:
__________War.
