00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:04.290 align:middle line:84%
Well, this is a poem
called "World War Three,"

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:06.390 align:middle line:90%
I read it as a charm against.

00:00:06.390 --> 00:00:09.015 align:middle line:84%
It's in 3 short sections,
and because there

00:00:09.015 --> 00:00:10.890 align:middle line:84%
are fewer and fewer
veterans in the audiences

00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:12.660 align:middle line:84%
I have to ask you
to take on faith,

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:17.400 align:middle line:84%
something the poem says about
the way people in the army

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:20.220 align:middle line:90%
refer to payday.

00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:21.060 align:middle line:90%
"World War Three."

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:22.590 align:middle line:90%
One.

00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:24.750 align:middle line:90%
You post the sign.

00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:28.170 align:middle line:84%
We have gone to
the cellar to die.

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:32.130 align:middle line:84%
Ready to descend, you hear
the motors of airplanes,

00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:35.310 align:middle line:84%
you look up to see the
American right wing,

00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:37.740 align:middle line:84%
you think of the
euphemism for pay.

00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:39.405 align:middle line:90%
This is the day the eagle craps.

00:00:39.405 --> 00:00:42.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:46.230 align:middle line:84%
All the planes are
driven by suicide pilots.

00:00:46.230 --> 00:00:48.240 align:middle line:84%
The young flyers
are ready to drown,

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.470 align:middle line:84%
to fill the oceans if need
be, while the fish cough

00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:54.720 align:middle line:90%
on dry land.

00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:59.790 align:middle line:84%
Mountains will fill
valleys, the beaches fuse.

00:00:59.790 --> 00:01:03.300 align:middle line:84%
You decide against
shelter, instead

00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:05.940 align:middle line:90%
you stand on your porch.

00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:10.320 align:middle line:84%
In the sun, that old fireball,
you stand on your porch

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:12.870 align:middle line:90%
with your family.

00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:17.850 align:middle line:84%
You tell them not to worry,
it's a nice day you say.

00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:20.810 align:middle line:90%
Such warmth on your skin.

00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:23.000 align:middle line:90%
