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!

Very nice job Brenton. So true. And... welcome back. Lol
Damn, brother. And the ending. Really hit right there.
True dat! Great job! 🙌
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.
So powerful, Brenton. Great work!
Dang, this got me. 🥺 Super powerful stuff, as always!
DAMN
This was so sad and heartbreaking 🥺
