Friendly Fire

	Within a few seconds their jets came over the hill
	Strafing the soldiers raining fire on their people
	An unintended sacrifice of their own lives
	The soldiers at the front – killed by their own nation
	They all died in friendly fire
	And the flames are rising higher
	They are here to hold the ground
	To defend what they have found
	A casualty list in the news will be a helpful tool
	Creating fear and hatred supporters of a war
	A necessary means to an end killing their own soldiers
	Publicity for a new war – to get all of the votes
