Defenders
They defended our freedom
The general said,
don’t you ever forget it
image siphoned down
into the psyche of the populace
making each citizen believe
In the justice of war
Details about profits and dividends
paid to shareholders
War Machine companies
defence contractors
flourishing in people’s death
never mentioned
they defended our freedom
The general said
Each sane man turned
into an insane, bloodthirsty animal
