Damn Liars!

I sit again in the darkness of my soul with the hour late and my life ever older,
I see the liars of the war clearly from the left and right probing at the wounds.
The masters of war want more, more, more and the peace groups always less,
But both care little ‘bout the wounded, the maimed or the dead of war.
Both say they do but their actions say they don’t. They lie to us and lie to themselves.
The masters of war carry on for the profit of the dead and maimed they’ve caused.
The liberals and progressives only see the warriors as a tool for their personal use.
Both groups use the warriors and victims to prove the other wrong and themselves right.
Both claim moral superiority but both lie and care little but for themselves.
Both claim loyalty but their actions of deceit and falsehoods show them as cowards.
They preen and clamor to have themselves famous and seen for all to know them.
They make a drama and a play of the dead and wounded; the scarred and traumatized.
They use the soldiers and their victims as tools to seek their fame and abandon them.
They move on to their next victims of their little play and toss them out as well.
War is their play, their moral way, their passion and their constant cry for fame.
War is their pulpit to debate the morality of their particular political thought and belief.
War keeps them relevant and at odds with one another as the tools die and bleed for them.
Liberal, progressive, right, conservative, left, moderate; they’re all the same.
They talk and talk while soldiers die in battle or die at home for lack of caring.
They talk and talk while children die from the soldiers’ weapons and lack of concern.
Talk is cheap and useless while others die, starve, thirst and fester from their wars.
Don’t be fooled by the patriotic fervor of the masters of war flying their flags so high.
Don’t be fooled by the peace groups’ rallies and marches incessantly all the same.
Neither side wants the war to really end and peace to reign in their separate worlds.
For the end of war would strip them of their stage, their drama and their reason for being.
Liars, damn liars, filthy liars, fucking liars, liars of the left, liars of the right; all liars!!
