Kill Or Be Killed

Little boys wield soldiers' toys plastic rifles, guns and tanks Grown men with MK-47s join the soldiers' ranks It's kill or be killed when you're in harm's way Your side's cause is just ~ or so you pray

Of course every soldier thinks (or hopes) their cause is just. But sometimes… just sometimes, it is beyond dispute. A timely write, GW. Terry

In the age of relativity, equity, inclusion, dumbing-down, anarchy, chaos, racism, fascism, and assorted other ills, I wonder if any cause could be labeled 'just, beyond dispute' -- except reparations for any and every formerly oppressed race on earth, of course. That includes left-handed redheads. lol. Tweedle-dee, I'm a Lefty
