RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
The Lies of War
The lies of war begin
Before the last bomb explodes
Before the last civilian dies
Before we travel down this road
We need to know what the mission is
We need to know before we go
We were wrong to make Afghanistan
The playground for our wars
They should have known
What they were in for
We should have known
What was in store
This was Vietnam all over
Another dirty little war
We pretend we are the heroes
As we scurry for the door
We leave behind those who trusted us
Those who treated us as friends
We shrug and swear to heaven
This will never happen again
[Honor the warrior; despise the war.]
