War Profiteering Part And Parcel In Wars Poem by Terence George Craddock

war profiteering by leaders administrators
in military aid receiving countries always happens;
it can occur all along supply chain sending aid
new spin was calling it fake news refusing to admit;
deals were done it was happening in Ukraine
military aid is like an ATM grab free money machine;
reports published about war profiteering issues in
Vietnam Korea were fascinating human nature desires;

a slice of apple pie with perhaps cream on top in
contrast front line soldiers get least perks potential;
worst outcomes because where bullets fly soldiers
die where rockets scream so do seriously wounded;
men where bombs drop heart beats stop war is nasty
but making weapons of death profit is easy money;
