Body Politic

Listen to poem:
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
