Capital Letters

must I be so god damned significant?
as if goddamnedness weren't sign enough
but signals we are
lights and sounds
flashing our shiny cuff

"I am this sort of useful tool"
spending my powder unwise
"and I, this other" 
to mine and plunder
twisting to my demise

with that settled let's settle our score
who's worth less and whose got more?
what color's your metal, kin and kind?
which gods do you claim
whose names do you sign?
