Which War? – by Dan Baker

Did you hear what’s going on with the war?

The War on Drugs, Class War or World War?

So much death, do you even care what it’s for?

You’re not built like me, you’ve never been to war.

It builds on the horizon, rolling thunder to the core.

Then the rotting bodies, constant shots – this is war.

Kids step on mines, can’t leave cuz too poor.

Like U$ ghettos spreading, Amerikkka wants war.

When it comes home you’ll realize it’s not sport.

Your family displaced and tortured – you wanted war.

Chemical fires, radioactive poison air, like spores.

Infection, dysentery, smallpox blankets are war.

Gut sick exhaustion, crawling through shit, festered sores.

Governments exist through constant wars.

Do you think the rich are really keeping score?

If we want it to end let there be one war:

The poor against the rulers, what guillotines are for!

We refuse to participate in their world war!

We’ll skip World War 3 and give them World War 4!

Global revolution while their troops are at war!

If we must fight we’ll mobilize the poor!

Take up arms – “No war but Class War!”
