Feeling A Draft
By Al Staggs, Chaplain and Performing Artist

SOMEONE MUST HAVE LEFT A WINDOW OPEN

FOR I FEEL A SLIGHT DRAFT COMIN ON.

WAR HAS BECOME OUR NATIONAL PASTIME

BUT WE`RE RUNNING OUT OF SOLDIERS

TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE HOT SPOTS.

TOO MANY CELLS OF INSURGENTS ON THE LOOSE

WE SMASH EM HERE AND THEY POP UP THERE.

WE`VE GOT THE BIGGEST AND BEST GUNS IN THE WORLD

BUT THEY`RE JUST NOT DOING THE JOB

WE`RE GONNA NEED MORE SOLDIERS

TO HOLD DOWN OUR TENOUS POSITIONS.

IT WASN`T SUPPOSE TO BE THIS WAY

IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A CAKE WALK.

NOW AFTER TWO YEARS WE STILL CAN`T CLAIM VICTORY

AND THAT AGAINST A VERY WEAK NATION

WITH NO WMD`S

LET`S OPEN UP THE WINDOW REAL WIDE

AND LET THE DRAFT ON IN

SO THAT EVERYBODY,

EVERY YOUNG MAN AND EVERY YOUNG WOMAN

CAN FEEL THE BREEZE.

WAR IS HELL

AND IT`S TIME FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THE PRICE

OF GOING TO BATTLE ON A FLIMSY EXCUSE.

LET`S NOT JUST LEAVE IT TO THOSE FROM THE HOOD

AND WHITE KIDS FROM APPALACHIA

LET`S SPREAD OUR EMPLOYMENT AND OUR LOVE OF WAR

TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD.

MAYBE THEN,

MAYBE THEN, AND ONLY THEN

WILL WE CEASE VIEWING WAR AS THE LATEST FLIK

OUT OF HOLLYWOOD.
