^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
Sadly, this has too much of a ring of truth to it. When the economy blunders, time to go plunder, I guess..(smile)
This theme goes back much further than the Gulf War. We are the ones we have been waiting for to stop this madness. Well said.
great poem! really enjoyable! i'm only a beginner so i'd love you to check some of my poems out and comment on them! :) Thanks!
Thanks for your comments on my poem War Adeline. I wrote it in the Tyn Cot Cemetery in Belgium which is the largest WW1 British Cemetery. I really love your poem Time for Another, which is about the Gulf Wars that started some 80 years after the conflict that my poem was about, it seems that some things never change!
War will never bring US peace! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Yes, and sure enough, MANY MORE. I will not bore anyone with the list. But well said!
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.
Good piece of writing. TryRecruit when you've a minute to spare. Thanks
Truth spoken, but I feel the world changing now... great hopes for a world revolution. It is an only hope to stop the manipulators do whatever they want. May Occupation movement live, grow and win, this is what this wonderful poem to me bring between the lines, a prayer for real total change of this world for the better... for real Peace with Love and Smiles. Thank you!
