Why are we squeamish
Why are we shy
If so many are dead
Who has time to cry?
Haig and Kitchner
had their fun
Fifty thousand a day
just to feed the Hun
Three million in Korea
a million in Java
another three in Nam
Killing is just business
Business knows no shame
Dead ears on smart phones
Brains killed without drones
in Freedom’s name.
When I was in school
they taught us statistics
counting supposedly
with rules scientific
Exactitude, or so we were taught
least after a decimal
far too many naughts.
Here in the West
many deaths we need.
No death,
no resurrection,
No salvation indeed.
Habemus papem
Habeus corpus
Deliver them all
let kingdom come.
