Have I made my point?

narrative verse

 

 

Have I made my point?

 

My turn on point, I smoke a joint

I may well die but I’ll die high.

I may survive its possible

But it’s not highly probable...

 

Nobody knows but I suppose

 Dreams can come true but seldom do

At least not for the likes of us

What makes me really furious?

 

We aren’t allowed to question why

 Our job is just to do or die

No politician understands

 The end results of his demands

 

 and I afraid they never will

 As long as grunts must foot the bill.

Is this a war that we can win?

It seems to me to be a sin

 

To ask young men to fight and die

 When they don’t know the reason why

They’re sent to fight in foreign wars

 for no good reason and less cause.

 

If politicians had to fight

They’d realise that martial might

Was not the answer which they seek

Might even turn the other cheek.

 

My turn on point I’ll smoke a joint

I may well die but I’ll die high

I may survive its possible

but it’s not highly probable.

a thoughtful moral and political statement with maybe some undertones of the vietnam war era? your narrative flowed quite seamlessly and i love how it started and ended with the same verse - sort of like a tease to begin with that transforms to a very visual truth in the end.
