[bodytext] => “The fighting is over,” King George had said, The day 12 were injured, and 1 more was dead, A little presumptuous of him to declare, A great photo-op with his thumb in the air. That day a young soldier died in Iraq, A routine car stop, turned roadside attack, He joined the Marines for all of the perks, Now he’s docked two days pay, for dying at work. He was dehumanized in the paper’s report An obscure little blurb, to keep public support, He’s referred to as casualty 835, But he’s some mother’s son, and no longer alive.
