Flesh and Time
War elephants and jackasses
with their endless stomping and braying
from Saigon to Afghanistan
Siamese scripts depicting..
blood for oil
death for profit
blood for lithium
death for prophet
from tricky dicky's Saigon saga
to
Hidin' Biden's Afghanistan withdraw debacle
to
Obama's sacrificial lamb ambassador in Benghazi
to
Mr. Peanut's 444 days of terror in Tehran
(it's all been a horrible waste of time and flesh)
Nothing gained
from a half century of war
the grunts and the poor always pay
when terror regains the reins-
You cannot scrub clean
the stains of a regime
that has the homefield advantage
and keeps crapping on itself-
