A ghost of a fire
still burning bright
The burning reminds us
of the ongoing fight
the fight for justice
against "their" wars
Against "their" peace
Against "their" Profit
Against them!

They say that
our cause
is not worth a death
but someone dies
for our cause
every minute
For "Our Freedom"
For "Our rights"
For "Our Lives"
For Us!

I sorta like it, but I can't tell if it's pro or anti war.  I read it like 4 times, but it's sort of vague.  Is it cynical or am I reading it cynically?  Is it overly patriotic?  There's a real market for that.  It's got a nice, simple, basic sentiment to it, regardless of its stance.

Yeah, I couldn't tell either... your sarcasm is heavy-handed, but who is it aimed at?
