Our Brave
Soldiers Fight Ignoble Wars for Cowards
By Adam Roufberg (Composed in Early July ‘2003)
It seems so long ago, somehow embedded in the history of ages
long since dismissed, and shrouded by the continuum of news media outlet
distortions, that George W Bush declared the major combat operations of
Operation Iraqi Liquidation were over. Since this proclamation nearly fifty
young American boys and girls have died in the name of the American Empire.
Since the beginning of the illegal invasion, nearly two hundred young Coalition
Forces boys and girls have died and over 5000 Iraqi civilians have been
slaughtered by the invading coalition as they struggle to maintain order as an
occupying force in
Dead!
Who are they killing and dying for?
Everyone knows the answer: the neo-conservative hawks.
Our dead young American soldiers are fighting for some very wealthy individuals who think they know how to rule the world. These power mongers use their wealth to create policy and their policy to create more wealth. Their policy is brutal. They think nothing of killing 10,000 innocent civilians (almost entirely Muslim) and destroying their lands with the most lethal of weapons of mass destruction so that they can exploit their natural resources and gain a stronghold in the Middle East by establishing a permanent military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan- in the heart of Islam, oil and five of the worlds nuclear nations.
If you want to find evidence of weapons of mass destruction in
Who stands to gain: Iraqi’s living under American occupation; Dead American soldiers;
Dead Muslims; Paul Wolfowitz; Dick Cheney; Lynne Cheney; George Bush; George W Bush; John Ashcroft; Colin Powel; Condoleezza Rice; Haliburton; Unocal; Bechtel; Lockheed Martin; GE; Westinghouse; You; Me; The US economy; The security of the fragile web of life on earth and the resources upon which all life depends?
Many more young American boys and girls may die in the Iraqi quagmire as the heat soars towards 130 degrees and 250,000 Iraqi soldiers, fired by Paul Bremer, run around with their AK47’s to join against a common enemy with the supposed reclaiming of Iraq by Saddam Hussein and his guerrilla warriors- coming this July 17th to a theater war near you.
The US military’s fighting forces are made up of predominantly lower economic class young boys and girls who enter the military as a way to pay for college or just to get out of a ghetto or some other grim situation. Then they are sent off to kill, destroy and die in this perpetual war on terrorism for the Neoconservative Cowards who line their pockets and flaunt their egos, and never dirty their hands with the blood of their victims and never confront the physical, psychological, and emotional devastation that exists entirely as a result of their policies.
War Pigs
“Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds... Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
they only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgment day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
as the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of god has struck the hour
Day of judgment, god is calling on their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
ALL RIGHT NOW!
Yeah”
