Cause We're Fighting

"Games Faces!"

cause we’re fighting a war

that no one’s gonna win

bums on benches in the trenches

cause it’s about to all begin

cause we're fighting a war

to make and keep Oil.&co rich and fat

we’re gonna pay with the cream of our youth

but you can’t say nothing about that

cause we’re fighting a war

and everyone’s gonna lose

sacrifice a nation's young

no one gets to choose

cause we’re fighting a war

and it’s pretty much been that way

since the end of dubya dubya two

from then and right up to today

cause we’re fighting a war

to cover all the double dealing

friendly fire here and there

does an awful lot of concealing

cause we’re fighting a war

to keep the sheep nervous and scared

sharing anxious time bomb whispers

and rumours when allowed and dared

cause we’re fighting a war

there will be casualties’ we won’t lie

you have to do this for your country

(pointing) you and you and you…will die!

    Your sarcastic poetry never disappoints (your poetry in general never disappoints, let me clarify). I feel the disdain here. I feel the impatience for it to stop, and the realization that it won't. It hits haaaard.
