      How many pieces
      Do you wish?

Teach me your ways!  Lord, teach me!

Disarm the cannons, the war
is over.  The spoils are burned
to the ground.  The war was lost.
Clearly, we are all undone.
There is no triumph when all are
		  Dead.
Call your husbands on their cells,
the TV broadcast was cut
short by static.  Satellites
are falling like atom bombs
out of orbit.  All lines are
	    Dead.
Teach your little ones "happy
ever after" and see them
look at the homeless in deep
consternation.  Such flights of
fancy, "Be a good kid, do
the right things and you won't end
up like that man there.  Not you..."
	  Dead.
