(Think of this as a running cadence for soldiers.)
(I like to use a "Calvin and Hobbes approach" when writing poetry.)
Looking through some binoculars!
Observe some Taliban drinking from a well!
Bring out the artillery cannons!
And send them all to hell!
Marching through the desert valley!
Find insurgents who want to do us harm!
Affix bayonets to our rifles!
Chop off every leg and arm!
Marching through the grassy farmland!
Found Taliban hiding in the weeds!
Bring out the flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails!
Hear them scream and shriek in the reeds!
Driving in an armored vehicle!
Find some insurgents whilst speeding up!
Step on the pedal and run them over!
Watch their blood spray out like chunky ketchup!
After the end of a vicious battle!
Capture some Taliban tied up with tape!
Skin them alive with our Ka-Bar knives!
Use their skins to make a cape!
Capture some Taliban after assaulting their stronghold!
Throw them into an airtight room with no exits around!
Toss in some canisters of Mustard Gas!
See their corpses sprawled on the ground!

Of Soldiers and Taliban.
I actually used this for a creative writing poetry assignment at Community College once.
I scored full marks.

I'm reminded of 'Dr. Seuss goes to war'.
You might piss off some of the same suspects I've pissed off with my own pieces: 'If it's not about the Jews...' and 'Israeli Apartheid Kristallnacht'.

I remember how the Marines received flak, for urinating on the corpses of Taliban.
It is understandable, that as professional soldiers and more importantly, mature adults who have more freedoms than children or teenagers, the Marines in question should indeed exercise more grace that is expected of men like themselves, given that they represent their country and the people of the united states.
And yes, in times of war such behavior is highly unlike that of professional soldiers.
But the Taliban are of an even worse and despicable nature. These are vermin who decapitate journalists on live television, whom use innocent civilians as suicide bombs, whom murder those who advocate allowing women and girls to have an education, and many other things.
In which case, their extermination would be most welcome, seeing as they have forfeited the title of "Human".

In fact, on Facebook, I did a song parody of Kevin Rudolf's "Let It Rock" aimed at my arch-adversary in wrestling, James Powers.
Fun historical fact:
The vikings took pride in creating poetry designed to subliminally mock their peers, albeit in good fun with no hard feelings.
Odin himself took great pride in being a poet.
