Chieftains, Leopards, Yankee doodle tankies,
War machine mongers play hanky pankys,
Drip, drip, drip weaponry out to the front,
Watch Boris perform publicity stunt.
In Kyiv shelters packed whilst missiles fly,
Nobody talks of any reasons why.
Slowly we all drift towards world war three,
Putin ignores back door diplomacy,
Thousands more young men, struck down in their prime,
Silently we accept this stupid crime.
Latest technological weapons sent,
Newscast propagandists all seem hell bent
To ramp up use of sick killer machines.
Is this what being human really means?
Harry Rogers in the Red Bedroom 27th January 2023
Too true Harry, but there’s money to be made in war. Iraq, was and maybe is still a good money maker. Afghanistan raped by the brits, russkie and uncle Joe, left to rot and fester with the Demonic Taliban.
Keep the poems coming.
