Poem for a Thursday

ONE FUCKING WAR AT ATIME

So many wars out there raging
So many victims it feels like a crime
Wouldn't it be great if we could
Just get it down to
One fucking war at a time

‘There's a war on drugs going nowhere
A war on terror that nobody can win
A war on the poor being waged by the rich
A war on the fat being waged by the thin

‘There's a war between Christians and Muslims
A war between the left and the right
A war between Main Street and Wall Street
War raging all day and all night

‘There's a war between haters and lovers
A war between the young and the old
‘There are wars that serve just one purpose
In the market where guns are bought and sold

‘There's a new war starting tomorrow
Bringing with it a new set of fears
And try as may, you will never put an end to
‘The war exploding between your ears

So many wars out there raging
So many victims it feels like a crime
Wouldn't it be great if we could
Just get it down to
One fucking war at a time
