What's the Solution to War?
Mikel K.
What's the solution to war? We should send old men and old women to war, let them kill themselves off in the name of bigger cars and better air-conditioning.
Let the congressmen and the kings, the presidents and the heads of state pull out guns and knives and battle to the death.
Why should my son or daughter fight for you, you fucking cowards, you killers, you creeps.
You hide behind your hallow halls,
you hide behind your laws that money buys.
I want you out in the open looking down the barrel of a gun,
see what my son would see, before he pulled the trigger, a man just like himself,
scared just like himself,
put there just like himself by a man like you.
The blood that spills the guts that pour should be yours, Mr. President.
The guts that pour, the blood that spills should be yours,
Speaker of the House.
The brains that splat, the guts that pour, the blood that spills should be yours, Senator.
Teenagers should not be killing teenagers, they should be studying math. or tearing down an engine, or hitchhiking through Europe. War is not a game of chess.
