We’ve unleashed the dogs of war
they bite at heel and leg
the world can take no more
noose’s round freedoms neck
Afghanistan too Iraq
North Korea too Iran
leaving the dead un-buried
woman child and man
Every tortured soul
all of those who remain
burned as lumps of coal
the machine of war
again
Well, yes. As long as the bloody-fingered rulers can send men and women off to slaughter and maim, and be slaughtered and maimed, they will with a vengeance. There’s worse than that, though, the untold tale of souls slaughtered at their orgies never is counted up here, but the Scriptures comfort me with there being an end, which I hope to be made to stand in, despite the madness of now.
Such is the bosom of capitalism 🙁
