I Can’t Help But Love You

you’d be surprised by most Warriors

TV and Movies don’t do us justice

so much blood

you dopes know:

blood out is blood out?

eye for an eye?

a debt for a debt?

if we had it our way

the United States Military

would face off against our opponents

in a giant circle

and kick each other in the dicks

and punch each other in the tits

until one side quit

but no

you wanted blood

not even thinking about the cost

you start filling wooden boxes

with your babies

and then it dawns on you

Bill Sherman wasn’t just a tank

war IS hell

you dopey fucks

lined up and bought your kits and outfits

flags and buttons and pins

“we want war!”

“wait, this is part of it?”

“we don’t want war!”

“what war?”

 

I love you all deeply

I signed up to die for you half developed 

goofy-faced drool bucket ape larva

you are why we lost

we didn’t kill strangers so you can kill your neighbors
