Let's start a mother ******* war,

Raid every village and we'll bomb every shore,

All day and all night,

We'll all die, it's alright,

We deserve to anyway,

For all the foolish mistakes we've made,

Let's commit cultural suicide,

Pervert the system 'til it's all about greed and pride,

Oversaturate, indulgence sells,

The middle class can go to hell,

They're shrinking every day,

From all the debts they can't repay,

Feuding factions and warring tribes,

Don't bite your tounge, don't hold your fire,

The only chance that we have to survive,

Is if at least half of us die,

Next time we'll know our ass from a hole in the ground,

Next time will be much better than this go around.

Posted by Hodders 2008-08-13 10:46:52 .... I like the subject, people can relate to this quite easily with what's going on everywhere else in the world. I think it could have been written better though, the message seems a little confused at times and I don't really understand the ending. Overall I liked it though. I think the strength of the poem lies in the first stanza. + Report this comment
Posted by Brian W Callaghan 2008-08-13 10:56:12 .... again, this is one of my songs. The ending is to wrap up the overall point which is that we should just kill off half the population and start over because everything is so f'ed up. This is not about Iraq or Afghanistan in particular, but everything. The economy, social issues, all wars, etc. I don't really want to kill everyone, I just get pessimistic and frustrated with overpopulation and the chaos it causes. + Report this comment
Posted by allmine 2008-08-13 11:27:49 .... Is this when we should expect a plague? It is seen in history that when greed and decadence get out of control, something disaterous happens to about half the world's population. Problem now is...we are starting to fight back with resources that we didn't have before... Great poem, I would love to hear your music + Report this comment
Posted by chaabuk 2008-08-13 12:52:41 True This has developed like an oxymoron - one has to kill to live. You have made a valid point about wars. So much destruction and strife. The nation has deteriorated - debt, war and unhappiness. A true statement + Report this comment
Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-08-13 15:29:33 Mulligan Dude, this was fantastic. It sounded like a song to me from the very beginning, and I was glad to see your comment that it actually is. It sounds like something Pennywise or Bad Religion would sing. I think I may have to take a look at more of your work, cause this was awesome. Cheers, Max + Report this comment
Posted by Tarhead Mugwump 2008-08-13 19:30:40 hmm... how do you know which half to push off the cliff, i wonder? i liked it alot, but i thought that there was a small hole in the pocket... history has proven that it will not be better the next time around. somehow, people forget history and repeat it... write on! + Report this comment

Posted by resistanceisfreedom 2008-08-13 20:52:55 .... i enjoyed what you were saying in this song...although i do feel as though maybe on some of the lines you could have been a bit more clear. but eh, overall i still enjoyed this. + Report this comment
Posted by Something Indecent 2008-08-17 00:33:14 .... I like this poem but I agree with Hodders that it could have been worded better. It seems like it could be a fast aggressive song though which is always good. + Report this comment
