Poem
Red, White and Blue I fought in the Revolutionary war To win freedom from tyranny I fought for the right to choose my religion For the right to live free! No taxation without representation Was our battle cry! Fought to uphold the system of slavery. We would live free or die! I joined the rebel army To fight the Yankee way We sang about ole’ Dixie And walking with Jesus on judgment day I must of killed me a hundred or more Of those Union fools While Sherman burned down our country Homes, hospitals and schools. I fought in the war against Mexico Fought in Korea, and World War One We raped, pillaged and plundered And would not stop until we were done! I was flying over Japan As we dropped Enola Gay Three days later, we let Little Boy fly, Wishing the innocents to have a nice day. I walked the Ho Chi Minh trail Set flame to many straw huts Killed, raped, a whole lot of gooks And those traitors back home, said I was nuts! 911 shook us to our core So we attacked Afghanistan But getting rid of Saadam and bombing Iraq Was part of our long-standing genocidal plan. Shock and Awe, a day that will live in infamy, Is the name that we gave, To the barbarous saturation bombing That laid countless Iraqis in their grave The fighting continues, war goes on It’s big business, lots of money More young men and women, to feed the machine Have the last laugh, because it isn’t really funny. Now I am wedded to this chair, Having lost both legs, sad but true! I sit straight and erect, as I salute The red, white and blue!
