A MOMENTARY LOSS OF BELIEF IN THE WISDOM OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
AND A CURSE ON THE BASTARDS WHO OWN AND OPERATE THEM
"War is the continunation of policy by another means."
So said Von Clausewitz
But war is also
The continunation of false consciousness
And falsified policy and politics
And greed masked as bourgeois generosity
By the falsified desires of American imperialism
By presidents wedded to cowboys and missiles
By chauvinist beer salesmen peddling the stars and stripes by the six pack
By the trained psychopathic liars of the State Department
By simple-minded sods in all fifty states
By the born-simple clergy and suckers of religion
By the bearded dons and Ph.D. duddums of Academia
By painters selling third-hand Da Da at fancy prices
By poets who have forgot their songs in their gilded cages
By farmers sold out and put on the road and still finding their enemy in Nicaragua or El Salvador
By workers given their walking papers for life and their heads still so unscrewed they
think the enemy is Russia or Comminism
By housewives pissing their pants and dreaming of Red Terror
Or hijackers invading Podunk
By other means.
Politics is the continuation of war by other means.
And now, you celebrated American jackasses:
You still want war?
Go let a hole in the head shed light on your darkling brain-
Remember Vietnam?
Go and be damed!
But don't count on me for nothing your righteous
stupid sons of bitches!
