PEACE THE LOSER WORD by Lila Garrett

[helderheid]

How did peace become a loser word?
The loser-est word we’ve ever heard
War is macho
Hate is fine
Kill the mid-east, that’s divine
But peace?

Who needs it?
It’s for nerds.
It one of those smart-ass, liberal words.

How did peace become a loser word?
The most boring word we’ve ever heard.
Power’s great
Big money’s fine
Steal the oil,
That’s divine.
But peace?

Forget it.
It’s for nerds.
It’s one of those love-thy-neighbor words.

Blow up towns with bunker busters,
Kill small kids with bombs in clusters,
Get the refugees to run
Then blow them up for good clean fun.

Neo-cons will all attest
Pre-emptive war is still the best.
Forget Viagra and the rest
Try the manly war-hawk test.
Scare the people with fake dangers
Then get it up by killing strangers.

How did peace become a sissy word?
The sissiest word we’ve ever heard.
We let them scare us
Our minds froze.
Bush and Cheney’s
Who we chose.
So peace?

Forget it.



It’s for nerds
It’s one of those save-the-planet words.
