Is not won by lies
told by puppets
On the devil's megaphone
with drugs
or deceit
by colors or beliefs
with weapons of destruction
or prayers
that include hidden agendas
strings being pulled
Made up statistics
Wars long grown cold
It is at the finish line helped
Caring for others
Following the Ten Commandments
For the winners
are allowed entrance
through Heavens gates
The losers arrive too late
Entrance guarded by Angels
and our heroes the Veteran's
Who gave the most for peace
Not those who preach
and beseech
Those on drugs and out of reach
