They voted for illegal wars,
but they don’t fight
“Leaders” and politicians
that like to incite
Others also support wars, as
do some in the corporate media
As do some in think tanks and
others in academia
“Warriors” and their “wisdom”
parade on the world stage
Dressed in suits and dresses,
products of this mad warmongering age
They are the “experts” that
feed the masses propaganda
They participate in the flag
waving and other extravaganzas
The marketers of murder and
mayhem also get in on the act
As do the producers of
weapons and that is a fact
“Creating jobs” for the
masses is the slogan they sell
And the “coalition of the
willing” kills and creates hell
Destroying countries that
never invaded them
Reducing them to rubble,
again and again
Millions are dead, their
homes and jobs are destroyed
Other victims still living
have nothing; of things they once enjoyed
Sovereignty was violated in a
number of countries
With bombings, killings and
many other atrocities
Illegal wars were planned and
actions were taken
Now chaos reigns in a number
of victim nations
Iraq, Libya,
Syria, Yemen and other
countries are drenched in blood
And missiles and bombs
continue to land, with a hellish thud
Many of the people of these
countries would still be alive
If the “liberators” had not invaded
and dropped hell from the skies
Are those that run the system
to powerful for justice?
Do gangsters and villains
“rule the roost” among us?
Has law and order become
words that mean nothing?
When those in control;
control almost everything
Refugees are in the millions,
trying to find a safe haven and peace
Instead they live in squalor
and the wars never cease
What is the solution to all
this criminal carnage on many lands and shores?
Should the perpetrators be
put on trial, that voted for illegal wars?
“We have to ask ourselves how it can be that the
world’s worse criminals—people responsible for the death and displacement of
millions of peoples—occupy high office...?” Paul Craig Roberts. The Unz Review, March 9, 2016.
