DYING TO BE A HERO

 

 

Not Lions led by Donkeys

But ‘Ferals’, Feudal-led;

Civility we champion – through War.

Our mercenary dead

Politicians' ‘Donkey-Bread’

A feast of Heroism they devour.

 

Meanwhile we Monkey-chaff

Some jingo – some appalled

Take sides, and battle over what it’s for.

But the only certainty

Stands for all eternity:

While Weasel Words enslave, war will endure.
