We Few, We Abandoned Few
“...the dead uncharitably enclosed in nuclear
dust...”
-not Henry V
Let us not go to war this
week or the next
Poking our explosives into
other folks’ business
Military contractors shedding
the blood of families
(Hell hath no fury like a balance sheet)
Let us not go to war this
week or the next
Flinging the children of the
poor to their deaths
While the rich party through
graduate school
(They say the fighting is
rough in Harvard Yard)
Let us not go to war this
week or the next
But instead offer up all
issues to God
