A death ray
That turns

Or makes the

Hmm dissonance
And quiet at 
The border tonight...

So Putin's troops call home on their phones
And every one says,

Whilst there is still some meat on my bones!"...

How I wish troops were  withdrawn from the  battlefield;
And peace talks were honoured and  respected.
How I wish there was a time when guns were silent;
To end one of the bloodiest wars on earth !...

Even fate grieves hopelessly 
In justified keening, lamentation, mourning.

Xylophones yack zealously......

We the Unwilling
"We the unwilling 
Led by the unqualified 
To kill the unfortunate
Die for the ungrateful"

A motto of the troops
Who served in Vietnam
And wrote it on the back
Of a chrome Zippo lighter.

Grasping the death sentences

Troops converge with drums
Signaling to the vultures
That prey has arrived...

    of a company experiencing a boom

Coffins Cheaper By the Dozens
Coffins cheaper by the dozens
The French
Are withdrawing a thousand troops
From Afghanistan
Before the end of the year
But only if they are not killed
Too many coffins
Don’t look good
On the French president’s desk
People can count...
