We fought the Indians
We won the war
On reservations
They were very poor
Casinos helped them
Make a living
To reservations
We now keep giving
We fought the British
For independence
No longer needing
Their dependence
We got disgusted
Threw out their tea
But now we drink it
Regularly
We fought the Mexicans
Who owned the land
Now Tex-Mex food
Is in demand
We fought the Japs
The Germans too
But not the Russians
In World War 2
Cars and TV’s
Are made in Japan
Manufacturing
Became their plan
In South Vietnam
We fought a long war
We pulled out hoping
No wars anymore
Those who fled
Came to our shores
Many have opened
Nail salon stores
Another war
Far away in Iraq
Our sons and daughters
Are under attack
When this war ends
What will they do
Will Iraqis’ move here
And make their debut
All of this bloodshed
It seems, never ends
Perhaps in my lifetime
We can all be friends
