The gory drums of warfare once more beating
The options are only death or retreating
Mister Putin is on his righteous campaign
To bring Russian "democracy" to Ukraine
We hear the country is about to collapse
Most of us have trouble finding it on maps
Thus, be with God or a refugee center
With little chance of a change as you enter
To fear forever the awful wayward bombs
Adapting to donated handouts and alms
In times of invasion there are few white knights
In most invasions there are few human rights
With neighbors you disagree you should not fear
Yet often those are the ones that disappear
The men often march off smartly in platoon
As carefree as if war was just a cartoon
Oh, when oh when shall we all finally learn
That many men who march out will not return.
The man who must leave behind his loving bride
With children who will never have a male guide
Towns shops and farmland holdings wind up misshaped
While men are away at war women are raped
Often a brute with a big gun misbehaves
So many victims wind up in unmarked graves
The living remain in sorrow and bemoan
Loved ones forever remembered on a stone
The waste of so much young life is appalling
In the wrong place when a bullet came calling
A precious young live snuffed out for evermore
Just to sate the ego of a man of war
Dividing spoils some allies may disagree
The losers are punished while bullies go free
