Sup(Port) The Troops Poem by toto handala

Sup(Port) The Troops



Give shield not sword
steadfast at your shore
do not assault your neighbor
to rob them of their goods

For if troops follow profit
the flag will always follow
and where war is habit
crime is the companion


As where the flag goes
terrorism e'er drones
to where the violence roams
death and destruction bellows

Chickens will then
come home to roost
blowback upon your shore
what you export to your neighbor
expect to karmic import in spades

How could you expect otherwise
as you pandemic war cries
justify corporate gain
exceptional black rain
terrorizes millions


Back home snuggly safe
inside a gilded cage
wrapped by security and freedom
perverted propaganda and manipulation
patriotic umbellic proletariat
parade as lemmings to the pied piper prattle


Dumbed-down sheeple
pledge pavlo's dog obedience
to a polluted flag
supporting gangsta's of capitalism
war ho's for hire

Though war
hasn't been declared
over 70 years
this empire
has been fighting
those who can't fight back

Every day since
for business interests
which are contracts
bloated profit margins
via odious exploitation

Now you go to Poland
syria has just been targeted
the south china sea
to bully with your
force of no good
a slippery slope
much as germany
circa 1944
at war with the world


Psychopathic
sociopathic
arrogantly insane
mirror mirror
there you are
the monster all along
