Gazing

Does it matter who didn't know? Let's get on with the show! War is on the screen. Better than reality TV, And it's free! Feeding us with blood and guts. Tears flowing from hearts! No commercial breaks! Have to keep us up late, Our appetites will never sate. Can't afford to have us wait, For the next gory repast. How long will this war last? Will it have another season? We have had so many in the past. Who will win? Before we begin again. What are the beneficiaries of all this death? Not you and I! Certainly not the people who die. Could it be the contractors that fund the war? Rebuild again, so we can start one more!
