Rats Get Fat While Brave Men Die

Quinton

They say rats get fat while brave men die,
yet both know the reason for this war is a lie.

Look at our brave soldiers over there!

No one questions the war—they don’t even dare.

Oil and defense contracts make the elites rich.

Don’t thank me for my service you son of a bitch!

    Brilliant.

    a truth, as old as Time
    itself:

    'how many have died
    for a cause
    that never was or ever
    will be?!...'
