Ain't gonna march no more
I won't be a slave to your dogs of war
Just because they bark
Don't mean I have to answer the call
You say it is for the good of the nation
Yeah right
Sending our
Men
Women
Children
Brothers
Sisters
Aunts
Uncles
Cousins
And the list could go on and on
How is sending them to die
Good for our nation
Maybe I'm missing something
It sounds more like mass murder to me
Ain't gonna march no more
I won't be a slave to your dogs of war
Just because they bark
Don't mean I have to answer the call

Preach it, brother! You've hit the proverbial nail on the head. Hmm. Wonder how many else know, at this rate? Excellently rendered with a subtle poignancy. Striking. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you and you're welcome
Nationalism, patriotism, how about humanism. Understand the feeling
Thank you
A poignant piece. Far too many have sacrificed their lives over the years. Negotiation, not weapons of war. Well penned Tony.

I wish I could believe stands like yours would have good effect. There have been wars as long as there has been humans, not likely to change. Nice try though.
Thank you
