Majestic
by Tim Freerksen
War never changes
Whether or not we’re in cages
We might as well get on a waiting list for a casket
Though I refuse to go home in those darn baskets
While we wait people die
While we act people die
All I want to know is… why?
This is all pointless and lame
And sooner or later someone will get a tendon maimed
Sooner or later we will all die
But soldiers don’t just die they get killed
That’s why the only heroes in war are the ones who prevent it
