The Language of War

No more collateral damage,
Black sites or predator drones,
No more ethnic cleansing,
Leave those folks alone,

Imagined hostile territories,
Targeted shady threats,
Radicalised terrorists,
A time to place your bets,

Civilian fatalties,
Militia liquidated,
The glorious,victorious,
With triumphs celebrated,

Enemies are neutralised,
Just like a nasty smell,
Areas are sanitised,
A deathly sterile hell,

Taken off the battlefield,
Or on rendition flights,
Sensory deprivation yields,
Intelligence delights,

Revenge for 9/11,
Bring in the CIA,
Revenge for 7/7,
MI5,Guantanemo Bay,

Human rights violations,
Orange jumpsuit fate,
Solitary isolation,
Alsations on the gate,

Shackles of restraint,
Truth made propaganda,
Water torture campaigns,
Detainees forced candour,

The axis of evil spins,
Same old lies of old,
War on terror begins,
When they don't do as they're told,

Renaissance mission,
Takes one for the team,
When relations are soured,
A labelled regime,

Special forces, the elite,
Friendly fire oxymoron,
Body bags along the street,
Every time a wars on,

Resistance, revolution,
Ceasefire or peace?
Twisted evolution,
Got this species on it's knees,

The language of wars,
A harmless dose of radiation,
Keeping us as docile whores,
Dropping 'f' bombs on our nations
