Mesopotamian Way

Another soldier gets shot in the back.
"Oh well"
A shrug of the shoulders,
a care of any kind is what we lack.
Governments advance their "toy" soldiers,
this they sell.

Cashing in on another country's misfortunes.
A debt.
They waltz around their mansion,
worried only when dropping planes
are around to cause political tension.
More soldiers hit.

The exploitation of a nation disregarded,
again.
As long as we don't suffer,
and we can keep ourselves guarded.
What if it was them who proved the tougher&;#8230;
&;#8230;our strain?
