I Guess I’m a Hippie Now​

We all have learned that war is hell
Those who fight them learn that well

And though we see wars on TV
They witness what we’ll never see

For when our view gets too darn hot
We look away when they cannot

Now, we all know, you’d be a liar
To say no soldier’s under fire

No matter what your cause or side
In this world, there’s no place to hide

For spies are lurking in your phones
With bombs and batteries and drones

Planning for the next attack
We all have targets on our back

Remember hippies used to shout
Presidents should duke it out

Kleptocrats all wanted war
And no cause was worth fighting for

But now that they’ve grown up to lead
Suddenly, they see the need

And when one guy says war should stop
They label him a commie prop

They call his view unrealistic
And each day brings a grim statistic

Wow, have all the tables turned
Have they forgotten what we learned

So, though I could go on at length
The clearest way is, “Peace through strength.”

And, speaking for the dear departed
The best war is one never started

So, what is more aggregious? Is it the fact that Joe Biden said he never lost any troops when he was in office, despite attending the funerals of the troops that died under his watch, or Kamala saying for the first time there are no more US troops in harms way under the Biden administration, when there are still troops in harms way?

I think most give Joe the benefit of the doubt that he probably can't remember his own name at this point.
