All Trophies Won In Battle

Armies of kings
Kingdoms of poor
Attacked from gutters in broadcasts at morn
Apparently
So, Buddists trade
Orange robes for camouflage
And buy up guns
Pointing to hills
Where the Chinese live
And fill their bullets
With the milk of cobras
They settle in

Singing
All trophies won
Return to their slums

Next door Muslims
Then sharpen swords
Made from the factories of America
Meticulously
As Texans wait
To dilate
Mountainsides of sulphur
To mustard gas

Singing
All trophies won
Return to their slums

Soon leaders meet
In upstate New York
The leaders talk about democracy
With howitzers
Raised to the stars
Aimed at Iranians
Singing while steering
With ploughshares
Made from swords
