Jeffry Cohan Poet Quatrain

Durand Kuran

Banners blow in a  breeze while a silken flag waves
signifying two coutries gone awry
while men dig ever more six foot deep graves
as i stand aside and wonder why

american flags must surely be costly
what with all  the dead, white and blue material used
while the deaths of countless soldiers seem immaterial to the cammander in chief
and all the while our warriors can purchase no sense of release
he seems chiefly unncerned about supplying armor for vehicles who drive directly into harm's way
each and every harmful day
countries that are occupied who occassionally incur the horrors which too often incur
while their vision becomes blind by the sand, the bland and  significant sorrow of a war
wrought and fought in futility
as lementable leaders are bent on brutality
while corpses continue to constitute the inane conceptions of combat
such as Carl J. Conway who died  trying to liberate a country inhabited by an alliance who owe their allegiance to Allah
and believe in what may as well be a cookbook they call the Koran
s**t, they may as well adhere to the doctrine of Duran Duran

so i have a superlative idea indeed
take all the silk they use for the dead, white and blue
and rather than than causing casualties of war to bleed
SELL all the silk for armor and armaments our hereoes are so aptly due
                  (c) 2011....Phreepoetree  ~free cee!~
