WE ALWAYS GO TO WAR

by Bill Kochman



11-20-2016

Since many years ago as a little boy,
It seems there's always been a ploy,
A widespread lie and politician's toy,
That says we must always go to war.

North Koreans were once the war song,
That is till the Viet Cong came along,
Then al-Qaeda & Afghans did us wrong,
And so once again we went to war.

Saddam and those Iraqis then came next,
ISIS and Iranians, our souls they vexed,
As for Bashar, so many lives he wrecked,
Thus again we looked for another war.

They never stop, there's always a reason,
Make a new enemy, it's again open season,
Political warmongering seems like treason,
Yet still they'll start another new war.
