Let’s call them all Department of War.
I love the power in that name.
It shows what America is truly for.
At DOJ, HUD, State, or Labor,
offensive goals are all the same.
Let’s call them all Department of War.
Power, dominance, mayhem, gore
to injure, disable, cripple, maim.
That’s what each department is for.
Commerce, Agriculture, Interior—
old labels are so woke, so lame.
Let’s call them all Department of War.
A Nobel for me (if not more)
when they see aggression is my game
and what America is truly for.
Defense was War in the Great Before.
Let’s Make America Great Again!
Call them all Department of War
and show the World what we’re for.
