Let Me See Your War Face...

Let Me See Your War Face...

A Poem by Santana
"

A response to Full Metal Jacket.

"
You made me shave my head
So that I could shoot some lead

You made me tie my boots
So that I could walk over a crumpled foot

You made me use a rifle
So that I could misuse the Bible

You made me yell at the top of my lungs
So that I could wipe out their beautiful songs

You made me jump up and down
So that I could break down

You made me an opponent of love
So that I could choke the Dove

Now, you want to see my war face
Do you want me to end the Human Race?
