There are those that live and
feed off war
Their profits and jobs come
from blood and gore
Their companies are listed on
the stock exchanges
Their shares are blood soaked
and in rising price ranges
Killings and death is the
results of their products
Destruction and decimation is
in their code of conduct
Missiles and bombs are part
of their deadly arsenals
They could be called today’s
corporate cannibals
Executives dressed in
expensive pin striped suits
Offices in office towers to
count their war making loot
Aided and abetted by
governments and politicians
They love to watch the war
action in “coalitions of the willing”
They don’t participate or
fight in the bloody battles
As people are slaughtered,
and killed like cattle
Instead they watch on TV,
countries under attack
But there is no doubt: “They
are accessories after the fact”
Anyone speaking and talking
of peace on earth
Drives them into a frenzy,
and they fear a dearth
They can’t stand the hunger
that might come to them
If all the wars stopped, they
would be bloodless again
They may not pull the
triggers or launch the deadly missiles
But, they are just as guilty
for war crimes: but are in denial
They live off violence and
killing, and for wars conspire
They are evil and dangerous
they are: The War Vampires
