Your children are going
to places unknown
on a need to know basis
they'll never return home
so mothers and fathers
teach them how to march
so in a few years
they can depart
after kissing
their sweethearts
goodbye
they'll be off to fight
to keep the gas
pumps ringing and
diamonds on fingers
blinging while they're
wondering why their
leaders don't get
the electric chair
for what goes on
over; over there...Kelly McManus
