heads of state

Politicians win the wars, generals win the fights, but what recognition do our soldiers get, when they fight day and night?

When a flag draped coffin comes off the plane, does the government realise they caused the suffering and pain?

The best trained army let down by kit, all because the government, wants to save a bit

The news comes on, another life lost, a soldier did his duty, at the ultimate cost

Would the PM still send in the troops if he suffered the same, maybe he’ll then learn, the horrific pain

Recruits from training or veterans years, they fight for each other with blood and tears

Politicians sit back home, having expensive teas and beers, as our men women face daily fears

Politicians want a pay rise it fills me with rage, especially when our girls and boys die for less then minimal wage

king and country no longer I’ll fight, but I’ll go for person who stands both left and right
