Free Cee Duran Kuran

DURAN KORAN Banners blow while a silken flag waves Both signifying a country gone awry Men dig ever more six foot deep graves As I stand aside and wonder why American flags must surely be costly What with all that red, white and blue material While the deaths of countless soldiers seems immaterial to the Commander In Chief Who seems chiefly unconcerned about supplying armor for vehicles who drive directly into harm’s way Occupied by occupants who occasionally incur the horrors that too often occur While their vision becomes a blur from the sand and significant insanity in a land of lamentable leaders bent on brutality As I become buried ever deeper in regret Bemoaning every unnecessary casualty of a war wrought and fought in futility As corpses continue to constitute the inconsistency of combat Like Corporal Carl Conway who died trying to liberate a country inhabited by an alliance who owe their allegiance to Allah And believe in what might as well be a cookbook they call the Koran Man, they may as well adhere to the doctrine of Duran Duran So I have a superlative idea indeed Take all the silk they use for the red, white and blue And instead of causing casualties of war to bleed Sell the silk for armor and armaments our heroes are so aptly due © 2013 copyright…..~free cee!~
