Its heartbreaking and so wrong !
peace.
kev.
25 thousand souls depart
To heaven in two years
I'm sure they'd rather be down here
With family, friends and peers
Take me out to a foreign land
Thats nothing to do with me
Let me murder women and children
To impose my democracy !
Hershey bars and HP sauce
Fly it in on jets
Blitz them with McDonalds
Napalm them with debt
Take me out to a foreign land
Thats nothing to do with me
Let me murder them with friendly fire
Its called democracy !
The statistics show the wars near won
Cos more have died this year
What about the living
Who live in constant fear?
Statistics are ball-shit stics
Human beings you mean
How dare you call them numbers
To do so is obscene !
Take me out to a foreign land
Thats nothing to do with me
Let me murder your statistics
Its called democracy !
peace.

Poem and numbers

I wrote to the BBC to complain they had happily published 'The Lancet's' findings that 100,000 had died in Iraq (that was months ago) saying it was a 'very respected source', (but unsurprisingly, the gov, disagreed with the figures) so now we have 25,000 instead. What a wonderful war it is that brings people back to life, the longer it goes on.
