The Botox Frankenstein Poetry Series>War Materialism

Well, here we are again, it's Friday! Tip of the kippah to you one and all and Happy St. Patrick's Day too! Boy! Talk about long weeks! This was certainly one for the books, but it's finally here, that fun little capper that greets us the moment we walk into our homes after a hard day's night! In keeping with the topic rhythm of the past four days, I've chosen a poem that fits right in! And please remember my dear, dear readers; always-always-always enjoy!

War Materialism

The time has come

No need for more slack

The time is now

Before they put a gun in your back

Your chance to serve

Is going fast

Pretty soon

It’ll be days of past

So grab a load of guns

Bayonets and slick grenades

Join the army join the navy

Display them proud in parades

But then comes the real chance

No fun and games, no time for romance

It’s time to see

Both blood and guts spill

Watch the bodies collect in the unmarked gravesites

No time for scaring, no time for frights

Instead, you see

Victims of war materialism

Band together on a muddy hill
