Listen to poem:
Body Politic
Body Politic
David J Walker
The shooting never stops
Until the bullets are all gone and the
Bombs are all dropped on the city streets
in the way of a foreign
Body politic
Declaring a breach of its borders
And ironically orders an invasion
So goes the persuasion of
Defensive strategies and arguments
Concerning armaments
Employing the services of accountants
Keeping death tolls and destruction
And payments to
Widows and orphans
Veterans with lost limbs
Trying to remember when
Things were different
Back then
