A War Poem


 

Dulce et decorum est

to wage a keyboard war

Safe from guns

 and constant bombs

Unsplashed by blood or gore

From behind your desk

no taste of fear, nor any risk

 Make sure you will be seen

By friends

How strong and patriotic you have been

Call for more guns, more bombs, no-fly zones, boots upon the ground

So long as they are not your own

Glorify the patriotic deaths,

Display your flag in all your posts and tweets

For It is fitting it is sweet

to be a keyboard warrior

  1. Quite! It is no more sweet, or fitting, to die for one’s country than it ever was.

    Waste of Muscle, waste of Brain,
    Waste of Patience, waste of Pain,
    Waste of Manhood, waste of Health,
    Waste of Beauty, waste of Wealth,
    Waste of Blood, waste of Tears,
    Waste of Youth’s most precious years,
    Waste of ways the Saints have trod,
    Waste of Glory, waste of God,——War!
