One Foot Over the Line Sweet Jesus

our military sang in Vietnam
“I’m dying to get out of here.”
“Every day above ground is a good day.”
our military are singing in Iraq
the major difference being
most of our military in Vietnam did not know
Nuclear Weapons were sitting off-shore
this time they know “all options are on the table”
best we all be singing
“Every day above ground is a good day.”

This morning’s sun shows sighs of rising here
Already has risen over there…over there…
Bring our boys, bring ’em back from over there
15 “insurgents” more this morning NOT above ground
2 US military more this morning NOT above ground
“Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace”
some country singers sing to our troops
at the dedication of The Center for the Intrepid
And God will grace them for raising hell?
Boom! Boom! Atomic Boom
Ashes ashes ALL fall down!
Who would Jesus bomb?
