Blood For Oil - A Reply Poem by Sidi Mahtrow

Blood For Oil - A Reply

Rating: 0.5


And the alternative?
Those who as saprophytes live
Expecting others to sacrifice
So they can exist in deluded peace
But their being will be short lived
When no soldier's blood is spilled.

Democracy's enemies Will attack your home
Your peace of mind will vanish; gone!
What then will you say?
As freedom's lost in the fray.
Deniging justice as 'Blood for Oil'
Is popular for those who's hands are never soiled..

It does appear blood drives up the price of oil and vice versa. Good poem, though. Richard
