Marx called religion
the opium of the masses
but we pray to Gods of war
and the poppies are everywhere
and we pretend to remember (and care)
and we feel so much better now
and we won’t dare question the reasons
that we wear these poppies
and we won’t dare question the reasons
that we need this opium
we’ll just enjoy the numbness
and cheer on the parade
