wars unwinnable

wars unwinnable since troy

wars unwinnable since pyrhhus

wars unwinnable but we go on

uberfolks this is so serious


two or more inconvenient truths

[we're too entombed in tech to care]

unwinnable wars heat up the planet

start where you are -- unaware


korea more than divided

vietnam was decided

iraq in deadlock quagmire afghan

invasive "power" shrinks derided


we'll be waving "no. 1"

as we sink beneath the sea

insane waste of life

(just between you & me)

[we're too entombed in tech to care]

unwinable wars heat up the planet

start where you are -- unaware

korea more than divided

vietnam was decided

war is waste

war is waste peace is prosperity

big weapons no good against anthrax
big weapons can't stop dirty nukes
big weapons compound chemo messes
big weapons have no purpose or use

weapons of mass destruction are tiny
just a sneeze, a suitcase, a parcel
give no person a reason to use them
and get rid of a huge useless arsenal

peace is extremely cost effective
gives us friends everywhere in the world
& it's the only way to stop the 6th extinction
let the 7th generation have a whirl

war doesn't work any more

after 9/11/01 my vision cleared up in a hurry
"waging peace" (position paper #1) is not blurry
all markets climb the wall of worry
because

war doesn't work any more
not even preemptive unilateral perpetual
one trillion dollars wasted on war
that's one thousand billions
that's one million millions
we the people are less safe than before
