RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WAR
Profiteers of War
They’re taking money from the Arab states
They’re taking money from the poor
They’ll take it now before it’s too late
They’re the profiteers of war
We’re paying more for milk and bread
We’re getting less and paying more
While the working world is feeling dread
They are profiteering war
His sons are gathering stacks of gold
His son-in-law takes in more
The nation’s parks are being sold
To the profiteers of war
They’ve got business with the Emirates
All the oil barons of lore
They are killers and degenerates
They’re the profiteers of war
We will never get it back again
All this waste of our resource
If you trust in God this is a sin
The profiteers of war
If you’d like to feel the hate
Get on board and stay the course
A dismal conscience is your fate
You’re a profiteer of war
