We still got a war going on, baby....

Its still there, chewing, grinding, burning and punching holes thru the young men and women who volunteered to defend this nation. Our shit-sorry excuse for a president betrayed them and thus and thus they've died by the thousands.....

And the dead are the lucky.

Tens of thousands have been maimed, walked straight-on into the world of double, triple and quadruple amputee-ism.....

And no-one mentions them.....

No-one speaks for them.

All these kids are dying, disfigured, blown into wheelchairs or insanity....

And no-one gets it....

You dont get it.

None of us, soft and simple, we simply just dont get it.

Baby, yr silence speaks kilotons.

Yr silence kills me.... It kills them....

As does mine.... As it does and as it is.

Oh babygirl, it kills and kills and kills.

Sometime I'll tell you about the boys I've served who were shipping out the next day. Ill tell you the skinned looks on their faces. I'll tell you the fear and the anger. I'll tell you I served 18 yr-old soldiers without a second thought cause blood buys beer no matter the age.... I'll tell you I now care cause I've seen these kid's eyes as they stared into their potential mesop-demise.... I'll tell you I caught the betrayal, the fury and doubted patriotism as they measured their lives thusly sold over rebuilding contracts and oil-lines....

As they realized the final cheapness of their existence.

As they realized.....

These things are for real, motherfuckers.

Utterly for fucking real.
