I Wonder If

If leaders still led nations The way they did in the past Would there be so many wars And how long would they last? If the weasels now in power Had to stand up at the front To risk their own lives would They be so ready to confront I wonder When did we allow cowards To command from the rear With very little chance of Danger coming anywhere near. Isn’t it time the soldier said I’ll be there on the front line So long as, Mr Politician you Stand in the place next to mine. I wonder If the politicians were sent Off To fight their own war Would they be so keen to Invade and fight anymore. Or would they decide it was Time for diplomacy instead If there was a slight chance They too could end up dead. Leaders in the past Fought their own cause Leaders in the past Fought their own wars Not like those of nowadays , Maggots, pimps, moral whores Who rake in the profits as they Send others to fight their wars.

Thanks ilene - I always try to see things from the soldiers point of view. And, sadly, the world over we are led by weasels.
