STAYING IN BED FOR PEACE

i'll "stay in bed for peace":
my tensions I'll relase  
in acts of making love  
to my beautiful Dove.  
  
I'm not going to war  
for White House warrior  
who didn't get to 'Nam  
when called by Uncle Sam.  
   
They who have most treasures  
no doubt keep their pleasures:  
I"m richer than I need  
in arms of my bed steed.  
   
We're trying to 'get caught',  
knowing that life's too short -  
and will be shorter still  
if I'm sent to the kill.  
   
We want to get it on,  
not join Armageddon;  
we'll get affirming life,  
me and my wedded wife.  
   
I say to Orange Face  
"How else can you replace  
people you're proud to lead  
when war their ranks will bleed?"

Author's Note
Originally inspired by the idea of John Lennon and Yoko Ono (famously played out in a hotel), further inspired by lines in a recent poem by Trome, Make It Very Hard:

**** Trump and Iran
I'm going to bust some Latin nut
That's my New Years plan..
