War Games

 

How can there be a war
without America?
we are always there
ready to volunteer
our blood and treasure
our sons to die
while politicians grow rich
back behind borders
it is what it is
we add and they subtract
a zero sum game
our fine young men
the zeroes.

Little Great Britain was big when it mattered, persuading the
mighty USA to join the fight to the finish - or see itself caught
between the Nazi and Nippon empires that, once linked and
free from any threat from the British Empire, would surely have
become all-powerful, creating the abyss and perverted science that Churchill warned the world about.

I enjoyed this poem. Could you add this to the second line...."and Britain hanging on to its coat tails".
Thanks
Keith
