Braced against the trench
Hand clutches the wound
Crimson flows over fingers
Last breath is consumed
And he joins a million more
But he fights for the other team, so who cares?
Fighting overseas
“NewsTV”
It’s a shooting spree
Why do we wonder how (we got burned)
Our kids ever learned to kill?
We’ve heard the Pope apologize
But he won’t bring back all those lives
He’s just a figurehead
Politicians aren’t known to resurrect
Wait...’til the undropped nukes all rust
And the casualties are dust
Will the vets be proud of every fired round? Probably
Nice work boys, this next round’s on me
And the bombs come raining down
