the easy vote

it's easy
to vote for war
when you
don't have to fight
one, or send
a son
or daughter
to die in one
or come back
mutilated and
changed for life.
it's easy
to cast a ballot
from a behind
a desk, a flag,
an idea
and say go,
go over there and
kill. go over
there and die
for us.
we must preserve
our freedom.
it's easy.
let me know how
it turns out.
we'll be here,
waiting. we've
voted and wish you
all the best.
