A Silent Warrior Weeps
OH!! YOU OLD MEN!!
You who sent us here!!
What have you done to us!!!
You old men!! YOU LIED TO US !!
You senile, slurping, sucking, sycophantic
old men!! You sycophants! Look into these faces,
seek to find the depth of our devotion to country, and loyalty
to our people! It IS there!! You preach of Peace while WE die!!
You squirm in your slimy menage-a-trois, you Leaders of nations, Leaders of industry, Leaders of the Damned!! YOU BASTARDS, DAMN YOU!!! What have you made us do!! “It is an honor..”, you said, "..to come here & to do this!!" What have we done, ourselves!! Now we can' forget
We offered our allegiance!! You asked, & we swore our allegiance!!
But what do we have now?? What do YOU have of us now, old men??
You take our lives, put us in places you’d never go, not for LIFE!!
You TAKE our lives away in places you do not, WILL not know!!
& our lives are taken from us again, or those who don’t die
have this terrible memory--all of us, the same memory
of death!! For BLOOD knows no nation!! No! Not NOW!!
You take away all of our Beautiful Country's colors,
and you wrap us in your own drab camoflage of blood!
You spend to us NO-ONE'S honor! You whored dignity!
But neither Hope, nor Time, nor Dream, nor End,
nor hopeless Hope! Nor Timeless Time!
Dreamless Dream! Endless End!
Nothing can snuff the inferno
lit by this demon match!!
Now Peace & Rest far,
far beyond Man's
very worst of
indignities!
