war is a racket

A-10s still land where no F-series can
providing ground support both close and low
they'll use dirt roads if there's no macadam
no fighters hang with warthogs flying slow
the VTOL Osprey owns another niche
supporting infantrymen in their ranks
but maintenance remains a royal bitch
it kills more pilots than enemy tanks
when Boeing kept a man in Pentagon
he drafted contracts only they could fill
the bidding process was already won
and you and I would meekly foot the bill
arms makers turn a profit on our wars
what's spent in blood pays interest to those whores
