THE AIR IS FULL OF WAR AND HOLLOW MEN


"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
T.S. Eliot

Waiting and waiting for the crack of doom

The world seems to be going insane.

But I still go and buy milk, bread and eggs

Until the next day of shame.

War is in the air and

The air is full of war.

And although the Homeland is without war

America is at war.

The war machine is busy making its billions---

Making its new cruise missiles---

Making its new depleted uranium munitions

To fight tomorrow’s war.

The ice caps are melting

But the oil cartels are laughing.

Don't worry about tomorrow

Worry only about today.

You need more oil to burn and

We need more profits to earn.

War is in the air and

The world is full of war.

Waiting and waiting for the crack of doom

Is making us all go insane.
