There Is No Honor In Fighting For Profit, No Glory In Dying For Pay

Jan 25, 2007

The Blackwater Five

Blackhawk down

and a White house clown

wants to send some more to die

Chanting, "God and Country"

for a price they're bound to cry,

"Save us from this awful death!"

And the world just wonders why?

With hearts bereft and baited breath

at the podium he stands

asking for civilian reserves

to try and lend a hand.

But here in Carolina

we've come to know the truth:

history will call the Blackwater Five,

mercenaries, and with proof.

There is no honor in fighting for profit, no glory in dying for pay.

This in no way reflects on this Blackwater 5.
