Here come the politicians,
Up for reelection,
Let’s hear their stance,
Their campaign promises
Listen as bombs drop upon a distant shore
Here come the politicians,
Waist deep in controversy,
Scandal! Impeachment!
What to distract?
What to keep an audience hooked?
Plot twist!
Rain down the bombs upon another distant shore.
Here come the politicians,
What have you done?
It was necessary? Was justified?
For the American born!?
Here posted– the stars and stripes,
A pirate flag,
A heckler’s taunt.
Here come the politicians,
-Our president-
-Our leader-
Our King
has declared War,
To save face,
To save his post,
To reign
Supreme
This is not in our name,
But it is our signature,
Forged,
on this international Ransom note,
Red;
In blood,
Our hands are suddenly covered.
