Kill For Hire Poem by Steven Taylor

all of us live in a world
whose leaders kill for hire;
we cast our votes for flags unfurled, ...
and death is our desire

the death of tax, the death of laws
that limit what goes on;
sometimes we overlook the flaws;
and we become a pawn....

a white or black pawn in a game,
a press fueled match of chess;
whose kings and queens, devoid of shame;
with our vote do we bless.

all of us live in a world
whose leaders kill for hire;
we cast our votes for flags unfurled, ...
and death is our desire
