Delinquent Demons

An Aussie digger
killed in battle
but disinclined to die
returns as a specter
to the front line.

Draped in a tattered flag
he yells
'Remember Vietnam, lads
and how we went
all the way with LBJ.'

'Never forget
the fight for peace
with George
in Iraq
and Afghanistan.'

'Kill the enemy men
to secure our heritage
and pride
in US foreign policy
and gung ho genocide.'
