Where we got that notion,
Is somewhere lost in time,
Perhaps, innate aggression,
Deep in our predator mind.

We love mono to mono struggle,
May our hero in the battle succeed.
But war has become big business,
Built on money, loyalty and greed.

We can now do war remotely,
From our AI video screens.
Not seeing the whites of their eyes,
As we blow them to smithereens.

Regretting the collateral damage,
But not very much; rather deny,
After all, they are just the enemy,
Terrible, bad people we can't rely.

We practice on our video games,
and watch our movies of war.
We are always the good guys,
With God on our side once more.

We all want Star Wars to come,
We're bored with cold war politics.
Where we can duke it out with evil,
Outer space aliens and AI tricks.

Or our next-door neighbors,
If they don't readily comply,
In our greedy lust for power,
Growing as years go by.
