This is a musing upon a bumper sticker that used to be seen around the time of the Iraq invasion: WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER. Maybe not for the working class, but for the various ruling elites . . .

Some say, “War is not the answer,
And to end it is our task.”
But what I deduce is, war has many uses,
If you know which questions to ask . . .

How do elites in their crumbling towers
Slow the waning of their power?
To delay the arrival of the final hour?
WAR IS THE ANSWER! WAR IS THE ANSWER!

How to achieve the appropriation
Of the wealth of another nation,
And give it the label of “liberation”?
WAR IS THE ANSWER! WAR IS THE ANSWER!

WAR IS THE ANSWER for capital’s impasse,
When crisis they confront.
WAR, the cancer of the ruling class,
While the workers bear the brunt!

How can a climate of fear be created?
How can critics be intimidated?
How can democracy be decimated?
WAR IS THE ANSWER! WAR IS THE ANSWER!

How can the thoughts of workers be brought,
To acceptance of their miserable lot,
And away from the class struggle to be fought?
WAR IS THE ANSWER! WAR IS THE ANSWER!

WAR IS THE ANSWER that defines our common enemy,
WAR the unmasker of the crimes of the bourgeoisie!

What is the nationalistic tether
That the workers of the world together,
Must put an end to forever?
WAR IS THE ANSWER! WAR IS THE ANSWER!
