MILITARY MADNESS <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

Why is it that the governments of men,
\nAlways think that war is the solution?
\nThey do not like some foreign leader,
\nSo they work towards their dissolution.<\/p>\n

Just to satisfy general world opinion,
\nDiplomacy gets a half-hearted endeavor,
\nBut then tempers really begin to flare,
\nBerserko threatens with nuclear lever.<\/p>\n

National economies have been destroyed,
\nAs millions upon millions of people die,
\nSomeday the warmongers will be silenced,
\nWhen an angry God firmly asks them why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
