Send THEM To War

 Send THEM to War

Send the gangsters, 

the murderers, rapists 
the terrorists, the child molesters 
the ones with more than their fair share of piss and vinegar. 
Send the bad attitudes and the free-loaders. 

Send the ones that want to die with their boots on. 

Send the experienced ones 

A few good men
the Dirty Harry’s the Brave Heart’s 
the Rambo’s and 
the Rock’s, the ones 
with the snot-free noses. 

The ones that know-how 
and won’t think twice 
to fuck you up. 

Send the salty, the psycho 
and the drug lords, permanently stoned
on their last leg. 

Send the ones who want 
to leave this earth making 
a statement, leaving their mark 
their sweat 
their blood. 

Send Them! 

Let’s leave our youth alone 
and their wives and children 
with their minds and their bodies intact. 

Leave them to care for this country 
to bring us back to sanity 
to give us hope 
to revive our economy 
to renew our faith in humanity. 

Let’s harness those hormones to rebuild our bridges and dams 
to patrol our borders, and to forge new alliances 
without any preconceived ideas of what they can and cannot do. 

Let’s sit down and think about how we treat each other 
Reassess wants and needs 
How we teach our children 

Let’s take a lesson from history
and send the Neanderthal to fight the age-old feuds 

leave our kids to save the planet 
and send the apes-- the missing links. 

Send Them!
