Irradiated


Don’t go to war my darling, don’t go to war
keep safe and sheltered
as the war drums beat again even more.

Don’t spare your life precious to me as it is.
Don’t kill off your potential for peace
and the love of life for everyone.

Don’t have a heart thickened by that warring disease.
Don’t irradiate yourself in some form of desert wilderness,
for who did you say these were,
these people different from ours at home?

Not much to worry about the political evidence is –
they are to send in the troops from black waters
and then above fly drones.

Thank God for America the land of the free
where no-one is responsible
but a contractor and a drone like me.
