WAR SUCKS toadstools

the toadstools listened carefully
while the podium toadstool
told them they were all special


their security, prosperity, principles
built on their interests and values
should prevail worldwide for all time


their responsibility was to maintain
peace and security worldwide while
delivering God's gift of democracy


yes it would cost money but
they could cuff the debt
till some other time


yes it would cost lives but
we won't focus or even meet
the casket flights to Dover AFB


nor encourage the gold star mothers
to put their gold star flags
in the front windows as it helps the enemy


we have the right to pre emptive strike
we have the right to attack pockets
of terrorists wherever found- worldwide


our security overides every consideration
we can afford endless war and
they can not so we will win


we'll also insulate our vibrant
economy while increasing our consumption
and standard of living for ourselves


if it wasn't meant to be this
way I would have told you so
and the podium toadstool left the building.

I'm with you, Henry. War should have left this planet long, long ago. It did not and clearly, we are all in trouble. Love and peace to you,

Regis

I guess toadstools aren't very smart.

Henry,

Sounds like US policy, trying to be the world's police, at the expense of our veterans--sad. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
