WarA Poem by Kieran James McGovern"the only war worth winning is the one inside your head"I apologized the final time Two ships passing in the night Words only express so much Eventually it’s time to fight Here’s my hardest, give me yours Here in hell, when it rains it pours Deluge of truth springs leaks of grief In the dam you built to “keep your people free” And you’ve got your world, I’ve got mine And we’re just playing pantomime Impressed with all you represent No regrets and you’re content The ones you killed appraise the waste Bombs and names to drop in haste Intentions in a shallow grave You’d just forget ‘em anyway One right way, a thousand wrong To detonate your roadside bomb Ask the ones who started it Sort their retarded s**t ‘Cause pretexts only say enough To fleece the fools, to dupe the dumb ‘Cause freedom starts within our minds And I apologized the final time © 2010 Kieran James McGovern |
