Good Soldiers

Good Soldiers

A Poem by The Poet of Black Wings

Good
Men.
Good
Women.
We send
Them
To fight
And
Die.

Far away
Lands,
Far away
Peoples.
Peoples we,
Are told,
Are enemy.
They've good
Men and
Women.

Both sides
Kill.
Indiscriminately
With
Absolute
Prejudice.

And we
Expect this
Of them.

Our good
Men
And
Women
Should go,
Unquestioningly,
Robotically,
Into the
Killing fields.

Like the
Good soldiers
We made them,
To be.
