    Iron, by Carl Sandburg

    Guns,
    Long, steel guns,
    Pointed from the war ships
    In the name of the war god.
    Straight, shining, polished guns,
    Clambered over with jackies in white blouses,
    Glory of tan faces, tousled hair, white teeth,
    Laughing lithe jackies in white blouses,
    Sitting on the guns singing war songs, war chanties.

    Shovels,
    Broad, iron shovels,
    Scooping out oblong vaults,
    Loosening turf and leveling sod.

    I ask you
    To witness–
    The shovel is brother to the gun.

    If you dont like War,
    maybe you should just move
    to North Korea.

    Or don’t start wars.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.
