colin powell addresses the UN

it's powerpoint of course.
	all power. no point.


microsoftware
	before the macrohardware


all style 		        no substance
	erect an argument on flawed foundations


holes the size 
	of bombcraters


a colon
 	: pregnant pause before a war


lives reduced
	not to dot points

       
	        • but bullet points
