The first war, the war of 14 to 18 Begins with an uprising of adrenalin The first war begins with the testicles descending & desire assassinating the child that you once were The war begins at school When you rebel against the maths teacher Who touched you up behind his desk & ends when you fail your final maths exam & have your first success with sex The war brings new discoveries How to make dog fights with your thyroid & pituitary glands How the Zeppelin can fly at your command & a generation lays down its life When after all they've done for you The good parents The good parents die Resurrected as your enemy & when the girl you've started wanting More than all you've ever wanted says no She is your enemy too But you survive & from the trenches of your newly found opinions Freshly dug, quickly abandoned The white flag waves for an armistice on Christmas Day Then your voice rings round the family front room Like a drill sergeant's in front of his platoon Broken too soon But you survive The second war, the war of 39 to 45 Begins when you identify your own inner Third Reich The second war begins with a sudden hypochondria A visit to a doctor who waves a piece of paper & says "This time it's just a false alarm" The war begins at work with some intoxicating news When the letter comes that offers you promotion & ends when you decide to let them offer it To younger men with more ambition The war brings new perspectives When you suddenly see through The politics of power which possessed you Through all your working hours & a generation lays down its life When the whiz kids of the industry Slow down Slow down & die Resurrected as your enemy & when the woman who accepted you When all the rest rejected you goes She is your enemy too But you survive & at weekends you get custody of an only child Already adolescent & unreconciled Who laughs at you, you & your new-found piety & his laugh rings round your faint desire for god Like an order from an inner firing squad Breaking the ties of blood But you survive But the third war is the war that never comes The war that never comes to everyone Begins the second after next by accident Ends everything except itself The war brings nothing The unimaginable Which the old imagine all the time Imagine imagination dying & a generation lays down its life When it refuses the creation Of new ways New ways to live & when the great invention falls apart Ripping through the atoms of your heart The third war will start Which no-one survives
