I woke from the dead!
Those brave soldiers keep on killing
Their nightmares be stilling
Tell stories of the brave and the willing
And others sing a similar hymn
To souse the ache in their kin
Of past glories they sing
But they know deep within their referee
Was not about the brave and the free
Not them, but others, they could see
Wrap themselves in the flag
Like a queen or a fag
Looks more like a drag
Right from wrong
Many a song
But you followed the throng
The innocent burned alive for your glory
Ever listen to their story
You were gross and gory
That’s; who you are
You reached for a star
But left a big scar
You pray for your dead
But you tread
Pray for the innocent instead
God in his glory
Will know your true story
Watch out, you’ll be sorry
Go ahead lay your story to glory and fame
Brought nothing but torture and shame
To your country and its good name!
I only wish they would wake up from the dead.

Good commentary on the leaders of our country - I hope they wake up from the dead.

Let's all of us keep on heaping shame on their heads as you do here - one day they'll have to listen.

And what a way to come back from the dead, great poem!
