CANNON FODDER

by Bill Kochman

11-08-2023

Whether you're America's son or a daughter,
Well, sorry, but you're still just cannon fodder.
Of course, they'll make you promises galore,
Anything to convince you to fight their war.

They will talk about patriotism, you will see,
Tell you you're helping to spread democracy.
Now just go kill the enemy and all will be well,
But those countries have all turned into hell.

Yes, look at nations where the USA invaded,
There is no peace and now America is hated.
Go right ahead, count off nations one by one,
Not any of them is now democratically run.

They all still squabble and they all still fight,
So why did we send all our American might?
Billions of dollars spent & weapons sent too,
One of these days they may use ‘em on you.

So when that sly recruiter offers you a chair,
Don't be so stupid, man just get out of there!

Bible Study Resources:

"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts."
James 4:1-3, KJV
