STOCKPILE STEWARDSHIP
A caring
daring
Deadly mix created in Los Alamos
New ultra noxious generations of
Trident nuclear warheads
Launched in one minute
Clinically calculated to explode
Closer to the ground with increased fusion
Are being efficiently assembled
Pro-nuclear governments
Nuclear scientists
Nuclear designers
Nuclear weapons manufacturers
DREAMS COME TRUE
Systematically stockpiled
High tech monstrous maintenance mountains
Management programmes
Five Billion dollars worth
Ostensibly for our protection
“Stockpile Stewardship”
An Academic Strategic Alliance Partnership
A reassuring mismatch for
A caring sharing
Society of greedy global giants
Misnamed to those
Who know the truth
How nuclear poisons permeate forever
By Ann Garrett Ashley
“Trident” (to the tune of Daisy, Daisy)
Trident, Trident-what an insane idea
Thousands homeless all for the cost of war
We cant afford mediation
Or proper education
But we will pay
A million a day
So that Britain can disappear
By Heather Barfoot
“Tell me about it”
Do we need more guns?
More bombs,more tanks
And a bigger better arms trade
No Thanks!
Will gunships, submarines
And high-tech ordinance
Protect us from terrorists
Fat Chance
Should we join forces to confront
Famine and flood, the blight
Of drought, pestilence and war
Too Right
Mollie Russell South
“The General”
“Good Morning, Good Morning the General said
When we met him on our way to the line
Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of ‘em dead
Now we’re cursing his staff for incompetent swine
“Hes a cheery old card” grunted Harry to Jack
As they charged up to Arras with rifle and pack
But he did for them both
With his plan of attack
Siegfried Sassoon
God Bless America. And its Bombs.

When they bombed Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, El Salvador and Nicaragua I said nothing because I wasn't a communist.
When they bombed China, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, and the Congo I said nothing because I didn't know about it.
When they bombed Lebanon and Grenada I said nothing because I didn't understand it.
When they bombed Panama I said nothing because I wasn't a drug dealer.
When they bombed Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen I said nothing because I wasn't a terrorist.
When they bombed Yugoslavia and Libya for "humanitarian" reasons I said nothing because it sounded so honorable.
Then they bombed my house and there was no one left to speak out for me. But it didn't really matter. I was dead. (See http://killinghope.org/superogue/bomb.htm for full list of US bombings since World War 2)
