It's an Ill War That Doesn't Blow Some God

To call silence an amateur appeasement would be faulty. pitchfork lorry lift, oh my clementine darling
once the home of lifeless reconciliation,
my phony smile lines breathe amen to

military god-send sentiments (life is shortlived, kid,
and if you don't stand up
to glad-hand

your future,
someone else is going to.)
