Throw another wreath
On the Unknown Soldier
Torture a prisoner
Of war.
Partner with an opium smuggler
Drugs, the spoils of war.
Support the troops
With prosthetic legs;
Watch the suicide.
Welcome home
To the unemployed;
Formerly the
over deployed;
Bury the dead,
Memorialize--
The memories.
Dust off the rhetoric and
Cheerlead the heroic corpses.
Praise the arms dealers and
Salute the war profiteers.
Stand your ground
From underneath.
On Memorial Day.
