IN LITTLE HOMES OF CLAY.

School and college and on to war,

The young must settle rich men’s score,

They dress their sin as keeping peace,

To lure the lambs they want to fleece.

.

War is business best when clad,

In uniform and nation’s rag.

Keep alive the threats and dread,

That profiteer be wined and fed.

.

First, we get the Press on side,

Then knighthoods for the men who lied,

Deceived the young and brought to grief,

The young men fooled by fond belief,

They fight for nation, kith and kin,

Betrayed by mainstream lies and spin.

.

The young will kneel, will weep and pray,

Then slumber in their beds of clay.

In graves, all men are equal, just,

All are brothers when men are dust.

.

‘They no longer need to imprison rebel writers like they did with Julian Assange. They just need to destroy your income generating mechanisms and silence you by taking away your means of making a living.’ –  JACKSON HINKLE
