Here we go, here we go,
Bullets all the way,
Now it seems that we have lost
Our high morality:
Oh, here we go, here we go,
Hello CIA,
Good to have you back on form,
Blowing yobs away !
Now we’re just like Israel,
Chile and the rest -
Mouthing empty platitudes,
Murdering with the best !
Should we stop at killing?
No, we’ll undermine your state -
Our ‘sophistication’
Is meeting hate with hate.
Justice is decided
Without the simplest trial -
It’s shoot-to-kill on say-so,
Murder British-style.
Oh, we refuse to learn,
We’re dumb as dumb can be -
A cancer is emerging
In our democracy !

Here’s a lovely and very pointed poem by Alan Harris called Dove Missile
