bankers
insurance companies
corporate cartels
the military industrial complex
and so on and so forth
the whole damn owning class
for that matter
they are the enemy
not somebody across the ocean
in another continent
for god's sake
the only war that matters
is the one not being fought

Couldn't have said better myself (even if I am English and too old to fight in any darn wars.).

it's a ruse. and we hate a ruse..

[saw]

it baffles me that the population will fight like bloody hell with each other over what amounts to minor details, distracting themselves while the FOX
is killing all the chickens......it's bizarre .....and this poem emphasizes this misguided phenomenon to a tee.....well done dino......what's the address of the enlisting office to sign up to fight corporate raiders, there seem sto be none listed here in Baltimore........

Deciding the world
was at our disposal, we
have disposed of it.
