Men Who Sit On Chairs

I wrote `Men Who Sit On Chairs` to describe in my cynical terms what I think of civil servants who fly desks and tick boxes for a living. Perhaps they are the smart ones?

Men who sit on chairs send us to war
They tell us how to fight
They add up the score
Men who sit on chairs send us back home
Minus one or two or three or four or more

Men who sit on Chairs send letters to the bereaved
They tell of the heroism of what they have achieved
Men who sit on chairs sleep soundly in their beds
Unlike the men in psyche wards being force fed their meds.
