Moral Anesthetic

The oldest anesthetic is born

In the cold dead hands of prisoners

When we supported Sam

As he called for war


It is medicine for the mind

Of the pilot who shot his first man

And the other ones on the ground 

That the communists ran


At home the soldiers sweetly smile

While quietly parading the streets

Knowing they will crave morality 

Back home, to aid their sleep
