Boom!  Boom!  Boom!

 

Who gains from the nefarious
Weapon-market boom?
The Merchants of Death.
Their sacks are so full,
They’ve forgotten to keep count.

 

Boom. Boom. Boom.

 

Who are the sufferers?
Up to the end,
The last convulsions of death
Bury the innocent civilians.
Terrible to us. Terrible.

Boom!  Boom!  Boom!
