Drone Funeral
For A and B
(This is performance Fred, Art went home to pout)
Note; May rework this
but needed to remove it from my brainpan.
A Before we start the service
B There is noone in there
B There is noone in
A Before we start the service
War demands we start the service
A The family requested a closed casket
B Why closed, what family
what family, why closed
A Yes this Drone was on a “spy” mission
Drone spies die, drones spies die
B Don’t funerals demand bodies
animal or human
Is it time for a country’s funeral
A And so we lay to rest
And so we lay to rest
B any plan for peace
any surcease
from war and war
and more and more
A And in conclusion, send monies and arms,
in the drones name name
to your favorite military charity
B And in conclusion,
let this be your memory point
for when our lives changed
The day we remember
a Drone
went and died
A Now we go to war
B Someday all the flags will be gone
when countries only live in memory
