As you know, I'm always a huge fan of your works and this is most definitely no exception!
As @PlainandSimple wrote, I'm not very much into politics, but that didn't stop me from enjoying all that this piece had to offer.
I think the lack of punctuation and capitalization work very well in unison with the "choppiness" of the stanzas. We're not dealing with a lot of long lines and drawn-out sentences; we're keeping it short and sweet, which makes the message resonate a lot more intensely.
The closing lines of the poem contain a metaphor that I very much enjoyed. Creating a connection between a childhood/lighthearted game like Jenga and the morbid image of carcasses play well with one another. The dichotomy presented between these images was a strong way to pull the poem together, so I commend you for that.
My favorite line is by far "reconciliation is dead" -- these three words have the power to convey exactly how the speaker feels in regards to a country that is torn by tumult and discontent.
As I mentioned, I'm not a politics expert by far, but I loved this piece. The tone of discontent and an almost sarcastic dissatisfaction made it a great read.
