SONGS OF WAR
The soldiers composed them.
The mourners sang them at their burial
We wish our enemies death
We are our enemies' enemies, death;
The soldiers child , a blacksmith, making no hoes , carving swords.
And the rain that beat them,
their last bath alive.
They waived 'we are coming'
But didnt say in what (coffins)
Soldiers against soldiers
The starved versus the beggars
The overfed encompassed themselves with more beggars.
We have Joshua Iscariot, composing the songs with us
