NO WW3 FOR ME

A Poem for the People of Planet Earth...

AS FAR AS THESE BLUE EYES CAN SEE
THIS WORLD WAR THREE IS NOT FOR ME
I HAVE NO CAUSE TO KILL THE RUSSIANS
FOR I RECALL OUR NUCLEAR LESSONS
HALF A CENTURY OF FROZEN WAR
ONLY A FOOL WOULD DESIRE MORE
NOR HAVE I WILL TO FEUD WITH CHINA
THEY HAVE SHIPS BUT OURS ARE FINER
THE SIDE HOWEVER WHO TAKES THE DAY
IS THE ONE EQUIPPED TO STAY IN PLAY
A BOMBER CANNOT KICK THY ASS
IF THERE'S NO CASH TO PAY FOR GAS
SO ALL THE WAR MACHINES AND CRAFT
WILL RUST BEFORE THE WAR HAS PASSED
LET THERE BE NO SPREE OF DEAD FOLK
FOR THE UNITED STATES IS BROKE.

I SHALL NOT DEMONIZE IRAN
I BREAK BREAD WHEREVER I CAN
I AM NO PAWN IN WORLD EVENTS
I CHOOSE MY FATE BY HIGHER SENSE
AND I WILL NOT CONDEMN A RACE
EACH STONE WE CAST STRIKES OUR FACE
WE ARE ALL BROTHERS OF ONE TRIBE
YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW WE STAY ALIVE
SO I DON'T NEED MY EGO PUMPED
WHETHER BY HILLARY OR TRUMP
TO BE LED BY FOOLS, I HAVE NO WISH
FOR BABY, I'M AN ANARCHIST.

WE CRY FOR JUSTICE AS PARIS IS STRUCK
SEEKING FOR CLUES, CURSING OUR LUCK
BUT THE FOLK WHO FROM SYRIA CAME
MAY HAVE IDEAS FOR WHO IS TO BLAME
MORE THAN JUST RED WINE AND DANCE
THEY HAVE GOTTEN BOMBED BY FRANCE
AT LEAST SINCE TWENTY AND ELEVEN
THEY SENT SYRIAN KIDS TO HEAVEN
BUT OF COURSE IT'S OUR CONFLICT
FOR SYRIA'S DOOM WAS IN 2006
AS THE U.S. DECIDED IT WAS TO BE SO
FOR CONVENIENCE, ASSAD HAD TO GO
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY PROPAGANDA
SMART BOMBS USUALLY WANDER
AND LEVEL THEN A CITY BLOCK
NO TERROR WILL THIS WAY BE STOPPED
THE SONS OF ZION KNOW THIS STOCK
THEY DO SLAUGHTER ROUND THE CLOCK
BUT THEY SAY THEY'RE JUSTIFIED
AND SO THEY MASK THEIR GENOCIDE
ONCE THEY RAN TO FLEE THE NAZIS
NOW THEY DO THE SAME WITH PROXIES
HIRING MEN TO PICK UP GUNS
AND GO SEED CHAOS JUST FOR FUN
ASK THE LIBYANS AND THEIR KIN
A NATION DESTROYED ON A WHIM
THEIR HOME BECAME A TERROR GARDEN
A BOON TO THUGS WHO CAME TO ARM
AND THUS BEGAN ISLAMIC STATE
THE WEST SUPPLIED ISLAMIC HATE
AND SHIPPED THEIR FIGHTERS OVERSEAS
INTO A LAND THEY'D RECENTLY RAZED
THAT BRITISH PROVINCE CALLED IRAQ
THEY TOOK THE LAND TO WALK THE TALK
ESTABLISHING THEIR CALIPHATE IDEA
WHILE THE CIA STOOD BY SO NEAR
BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR IDEA FIRST:
TOPPLE ASSAD AND STEAL HIS PURSE
AND TAKE OVER THE OIL PIPELINE
FOR THE BANKS THEIR ONLY LIFELINE
IF SYRIA DOESN'T FALL, YOU SEE
THEN IRANIAN GAS WILL REACH THE SEA
THE MEDITERRANEAN MASS
WILL PROVIDE MUCH OF EUROPE'S GAS
TO KEEP THE HEAT AND LIGHTS STILL ON
BUT THEN A MONOPOLY WILL BE GONE
FOR AN ISRAELI PIPELINE PORT
AND ISIS WILL FALL
DESPITE SAUDI SUPPORT
AND TURKEY'S KINGPIN ERDOGAN
SOON WILL FEEL THE HURT AGAIN
FOR SHOOTING DOWN A RUSSIAN JET
AS BAD AN IDEA AS THEY EVER GET
SO I RESPOND TO THIS MAN'S BLUNDER
SOON HIS CRIME WILL TAKE HIM UNDER
AND LITTLE BOY QATAR
OR SHOULD I SAY, EXXON
WILL FIND ANOTHER HEAD
TO CRACK ALL THEIR EGGS ON
AND AT LEAST FOR A TIME
THE WORLD WILL KNOW PEACE
UNTIL ONCE AGAIN
THE WORLD LEADERS MEET
AND COME UP WITH A PLAN
TO MAKE HUMANITY SUFFER
UNTIL THEN AT LEAST
LET MY POETRY BUFFER
THE SADISTIC WHIMS
OF A CABAL SET TO END
AND THE REST OF THE PEOPLE
WHO I KNOW ARE MY FRIENDS
AND IF AMERICA CAN'T FOCUS IN TIME
I'LL SERVE UP GEOPOLITICS
TO THE CADENCE OF RHYME
BUT DON'T SNOOZE JUST YET
FOR THE WHEEL DOES STILL SPIN
SO THAT IF THEY GET THEIR WORLD WAR
WE WILL STILL WIN
LET OUR WORDS REFLECT
HEARTS FREE FROM ALL SIN
MUCH LOVE AND BLESSINGS
TO YOU ALL, MY KIN.
