Songbird _

( an ode to songbird mccain )

Leather head
watch your frown
which ways up
which ways down
Ever seen
peace filles lies
bless his face
don't despise.

Grab his mask
tear away
pry it off
pull which way.
Slap on oil
pepper too
sure hope love
pops it loose.

Soldiers fight
warriors don't
they find peace
soldiers won't.
In the past
people say
warriors once
were so brave.

They protect
innocents
from brutal
psychophants.
Life honoured
death despised
seldom seen
eye to eye.
