Dead Dogs and Draftees

Sad song singing as the sickle keeps swinging,about Dead dogs and draftees Marching mad miles of misery through trenches of terror and maniacle mazes...on the whims of warlords in psychopathic phases Genocidal generals make slaves of the free...they salute the sadistic Dead dogs and draftees Hunted and haunted tormented and taunted Every twist and every turn leaves them ugly and unwanted Rich rulers counting money...never minding the means While killer kings send them off to their doom,deep in jungles of jeapordy Hidden in darkness you can feel their disease Life is defeat and death victory...decay in death deserts Dead dogs and draftees Deformed and disfigured...some never delivered society quivers as reality screams In the valley of vultures...no sound in this scene Your worst nightmare is their daily dream...rest in peace 4ever Dead dogs and draftees

This is so sharp and poignant, Anthony. The alliteration adds to the flow, but the message is one that hits hard. Been accused of being a "peacenick." As John Lennon said, "I hope someday you'll join me and the world will live as one." Wish we had more of a peace movement underway right now. Excellent poem for my favorites! Best wishes, Carolyn
