by JS Schilling
and in this I learned,
a soldier is a pawn,
no disrespect in that,
just is is all.
But why am I at war?
I ain't really know,
but I did hear the news-man say,
"Torture..."
like he was saying the score
of the World Series.
As an American,
"why" is not the question,
but rather,
"Am I ashamed because of the war?"
Yes, I am ashamed to be an American now,
bin Laden not withstanding.
(Time to solve the war,
not stop it.)
