Media Refuse To Show: True Cost Face Of War? Poem by Terence George Craddock

it is hard to believe the old lie is being
media told again an implied vile chanting
about how sweet honourable it is to die
for one's country in a glorious defense
Ukraine men marching to glorious death
yes the action is brave heroic admirable

strange though how the western media
refuses to show the true cost face of war
with images of horrific injuries deaths
pimping war western media never shows
armless legless blind death battle scared
sick wounded soldiers in themed glorious
defense mothers fathers weeping for sons
who will sing an 'Anthem for Doomed Youth'
what dire torture awaits men refusing to fight...
