patriotic

patriotic "swill"

the silence of those
condemned to eachother

the folly of war

GLORIFIED!

glorified by simple slogans with
no meaning

by stories
with no ending

by death

patriotic hope
always unfulfilled

except by those who gain

monetary profit!

face down in the mud
our evil face

we tried too hard to please

really

no-one

patriotic "swill"

silence overcomes

everything but love

and lovers
