It's not my problem, if they want to be heroes!
It's not my problem, if they want to serve their country!
It's not my problem, if I can't stop them!

Fuck it all!
Kill em' all!
Let God sort it out!

What do I care, anyway?
What do I care, if the babies die and the mothers cry?
What do I care?

I wonder

I wonder if those unfortunate enough to survive world war III (nuclear) would finally get it. I really don't think so. Humans live to comfort and protect themselves and their own little worlds; to survive another day when reality tells them in so many ways that they are not ultimately in control and that we all start dying the day our physical life begins. When you are already dead spiritually what is physical death?

What Do I Care?

Jim

I sense your frustrations as mine. I like the poem and own the feeling.

Let's all buy our little grandson's a toy rifle and show him how to shoot and kill gooks or crouts or japs or what the fuck ever. And get them ready for sacrifice to the official Meat Grinder.

NOT ME, M.F. -- NOT MINE, M.F.!!

This ain't America -- and has not been for 40 something years.
