Y Poem by Jack Aubrey

Y

Rating: 5.0


Why must I choose
Between the axes?
I sketch a line, indeterminate -
Those who win, those who lose,
Pay value-added taxes -
Those who only serve and wait
Will graph their lives, bewail their fate.

You poets, buy your ammunition
Before the wars begin again;
Move to remote Montanan mountains
With a shotgun, and a Plan.

Those who only stand and serve
Will get the justice they deserve.

Question, always question else you number among the cattle. Or sheep. Or bunnies, definitely bunnies.
