Glory Land

Glory Land
With new dress blues and shiny shoes
and the strut of a brave brass band
Daddy took up his country's flag
and marched to Glory Land.

Without his shoes and new dress blues
but behind the band and flag
Daddy came home from Glory Land
Wearing a burlap bag
.

Peace

Peace
The few were geting fewer
But the peace was finally won
When the fewer met the fewest
And they fought till there was none.


** **
they create a desolation and call it peace--Tacitus.

God's Guns

God's Guns

Daddy got his gun from God
But his warrior days are through
Since the man he met in battle
Got a God's gun too.

But his warrior days are through
Since the man he met in battle
Got a God's gun too.

Crackshot: A Little Harm

Lucky
Lucky Billy's back from war
It did him little harm.

Just some little needle marks
That cover up his arm.

Buckshot: The Goddess of War

The Goddess of War
The goddess of war won great renown
She lost her head but kept her crown.
