TWO MORE NEW JERSEYANS KILLED IN IRAQ WAR
6.27.08
No one wants to read about the war anymore,
they want it done, over with. Bring our soldiers home.
No one wants to read about reporters embedded with the troops
and what it’s like in the desert. Bring our soldiers home.
No one wants to read about suicide bombers who kill
their own people and ours. Bring our soldiers home.
No one wants to read about the gi-normous debt of war
we’ll be paying for decades hence. Bring our soldiers home.
No one wants to read about the bone and bruises
from a useless war. Bring our soldiers home.
No one wants to read about yellow ribbons, posthumous awards,
night vision glasses, smart bombs spy drones, men in caves
sandy crotches, roadside devices orphan dogs, orphans missing limbs
the perils of war man’s in humanity to man.
Bring our soldiers home.
