That's Just How it is
You may have noticed, sonny boy, that thoseWho call for martyrdom don't recommend it
For themselves, that peons face austerity.
It doesn't faze the upper crust. A gallant guy
Somewhere back home is who will send your
Friends to war to die, and, though their deaths
May foster ostentatious shows of grief,
In fact, our somber leaders aren't affected
By their loss.
