I watched two men die on a job site in Houston because the OSHA inspector showed up late and the contractor ignored the heat index. That’s a war right here, every summer, and nobody calls it what it is. They don’t send drones or drop bombs, just turn a blind eye while men with hammers and hard hats fry in 108-degree steel cages. I’ve seen El Salvador’s civil war in photos my uncle sent—this ain’t that, but it ain’t nothing either. A man can bleed out from slow neglect same as a bullet. They want border walls? Start by making sure we don’t cook in our own skin just to build their office parks.

    "They don’t send drones or drop bombs, just turn a blind eye while men with hammers and hard hats fry in 108-degree steel cages."

    A drone leaves a crater. Neglect leaves a ghost — walks into the kitchen every morning, stands behind my son like my grandmother used to, says nothing. I know that ghost. It wore my father’s face when he came back from the fields in '86, hands cracked like dry earth, pride still on him even when the fever took him. We don’t need bombs to know how a country eats its own.
