"Now from a distance they send our kids in"


Poem Artwork

Stop

I worry that having failed in the war
Now having completely destroyed Iraq
This administration will look for more
Shenanigans to make and carry on
Pretty much more of the same to Iran
Now on the ledge to go over the edge
Taking us too far to ever come back

Will the people wake up and prove willing
Seeing the president's ship going down
To end this endless cycle of killing
While we bury beautiful kids from town?
Take back the future from the unclean hand
Which stole it and can never understand
That to increase the war cannot bring peace

Peace must be nurtured and grown patiently
And for it to bloom the bleeding must cease
Preemptive war used to be viewed as sin
But they have forgotten diplomacy
Now from a distance they send our kids in
I worry that having failed in the war
This administration will just make more

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
