In Many Ways Poem by Raymond Farrell

In many ways
People would argue
International affairs are quite complex
But in some ways
It seems rather simple
If you buy US Treasury Bonds
Be 'you'
A person, corporation, country or any other entity
'You' are
Whether you like it or not
Enabling the US Military Industrial Complex
To run at full tilt
And like some parasites
(even the bacteria in your gut)
When in balance
Things run smoothly
But this corrupt greedy complex
Has begun to consume
Nearly half the US yearly budget
Thereby bleeding the country dry
Often bent on supporting or fomenting wars
In distant places
With matter so out of whack
If 'you' favor peace and stability
'You' could do humanity a favor
By keeping your money
In your pocket.
