Rule #1...
The Government Lies
The Milatary Lies
The War Machine Makers Lie
and men die
Rule #2...
The Polititions Son Won't Go
The Generals Son Won't Go
The War Machine Makers Son Won't Go
but, your son will go
Rule #3...
What if They Gave a War and Nobody Came?
What if the Politician Were Required to Lead the First Charge?
The "What If's" are worthless words of wish's
When they give a War, you will go to the War
- or - You will go directly to jail
Only VIP's sons are born with a
"Get Out of Jail Free" card in their mouth
Rule #4...
John Wayne is the poster boy of War
John Wayne never went to War
Rah! Rah! Wayne! is truly false Patriotism
Rah! Rah! Wayne! is the Propaganda's Psyche Game
Rule #5...
Know thy Enemy
When you come face to face with the enemy
You find yourself looking at a mirrior image
He has a family just like you
He has friends jut like you
He has dreams just like you
The enemy is just like you
Is there a Purpose to War?
Beats me, I have never found any legitamte reasons for a war. Every war I have examined the root cause of, started from either greed, ego, stupidity, arrogance and/or a host of other pudden-head reasons.
Excellent poem. Of course, the biggest lie that we are told is that we are fighting wars for FREEDOM. We are murdering innocent people to "liberate them".
