^Time For Another

They're choosing the songs on the radio -
Preparing our boys who will have to go -
Getting their pawns lined up in a row -
It's time for another Gulf War!

It's not your decision by any long-sight,
And those who make ‘em won't be in the fight.
Who knows or cares if it's wrong or right -
It's time for another Gulf War!

Nov.11, ‘98

Just a few wars behind, but still potent and impactful. Been there, done that- please read my Before The Next Bomb Falls

Another gem and it's true about all our wars - and the military industrial complex keeps marching on - what's a few thousand lives when there's money to be made?

Its not fare that leaders just sent young soldiers to unnecessary wars they wont even fight. Great messages indeed.

This is true for all Wars. I liked the way you put it - Short, direct and to the point.

Futility is right, decisions will be made without intellects or the peoples' guidance. Money and ruthlessness conquers all in this world. I hope to live to see happier times. As I'm sure you still do. The another gulf war is a good poem, no longer of this time, but still it is of with mirror images it rhymes. The meaning of it will never go away. For we will forever continue to repeat the same mistakes.

So true, then there will be another and another. Young lives wasted for oil and territory. Though I am supposed to be a war mongering pirate, I am a lover at heart. Good write.
