ANOTHER WAR 

To kill another man in the name of liberty
Is the rehashed creed of global greed
To some a country is free only if
It deserves to be 
No thought for the individual calamities
Visited on the citizenry 

The conspicuous lack of a coherent
Long term plan is galling 
We are led to believe 
That the gun will solve all and
Democracy must echo from 
The west to all parts of the globe 

Machismo rules the day
The headlong rush into battle 
Is fuelled by testosterone 
Destruction as always is its intimate bedfellow 
With No thought by the combatants
Of the Day after victory  

The bodies that litter the path of freedom 
And hinder its progress 
Are food for the media 
Whose interest feeds the vicious cycle 
Of the desecration of humanity 
For short term gain 

Economics has infiltrated politics
Business men fool Blind law makers 
And selfishly rule the day 
The gun of freedom is followed 
By the grasping hands of trade 
The debacle of lives illegally lost 
Is but a boardroom coup

A dangerous game we play
When we infiltrate another polity 
To interfere and set it free 
Democracy after all has lots of pseudo varieties
Why must we champion one way to control 
Over another with its local peculiarity?

The decision to go to war 
Must never be taken lightly
