We Plant Soldiers In the Ground

We plant soldiers in the ground To grow peace Or so that’s what we’re told Only the seeds of peace Grow peace That’s what i know The lies and rhetoric of our politicians Choke the roots of the truth And over-water the brains of the politicians Until they become soft blooming idiots They say to die for one’s country is right The only right is to live for peace That’s what i know

like this, so sincere and truthful, the world has sure planted lots of soldiers, mainly for someone to profit from their suffering. harry
