Did you watch the parade hear the crowd <br /> cheering the proud marching band with drums rolling <br /> ratta tat tat <br /> ratta tat tat <br /> <br /> Did you see medals blazing upon military breasts flags <br /> waving in clean crisp air with drums rolling <br /> ratta tat tat <br /> ratta tat tat <br /> <br /> Did you catch soldiers strutting past military's might <br /> guns at the ready eyes right with drums rolling <br /> ratta tat tat <br /> ratta tat tat <br /> <br /> Did you tune in the news showing shocking shots to burn <br /> in your brain dazed babies stumbling over their own <br /> dead mommies flies hanging from sightless eyes staring <br /> at death wandering naked with drums rolling <br /> ratta tat tat <br /> ratta tat tat<br /><br />Mimi Eagan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wars-lies-and-videotapes/
