Dave Cox Poet Rhyme

And That Is War

There’s no film set
There’s no Tom Cruise
Everyone dies 
In front of you

And that is war

They give you a gun 
Sent off with the meat
Shoot you in the back
Cos we never retreat

And that is war

When you enlist
They tell you it’s great
The army’s job is
Teach you to hate

And that is war

You’re free to kill
You’re free to rape
Do what you like
Coz there’s no escape

And that is war

There’s lots of booze
And a line of coke
Everyone will lose
And that’s the joke

And that is war
