A CAPITALISTIC PERSPECTIVE ON WAR: A TANKA QUINTET FLOW

Bombs begetting bombs, 
War mongers are safe and sound;
Others being bombed:
The bombing of others reaps
Bloody power over them

No matter who dies,
Nuclear war bombing pays off;
Bombs begetting bombs:
Millions spent creating bombs;
Trillions reaped from their bombings:-

War is a business,
Nuclear bombs produced and sold;
Low cost drones offered:-
War is for power;
So is capitalism:-

Just do the homework:
Democracy is one thing;
Power control, another:-
Watch the news on war today:
It’s about finance; not life:-

Why not target peace?!:
What peace reaps is beyond cost,
And invaluable:-
We all share in peace’s reaping;
Not just the power mongers:-
