Who Are You To Declare War!

 
In any case
what's a few trillion more
spent on a worthy cause
democracy at the end of a gun
peace in the rubble of a tomahawk missile
carving out kingdoms of black gold

a legacy for future generations
to ponder why
all the hatred and bloodshed
over Islam
halal lamb or a
kosher beef brisket

in any case
what's a few billion starving
when global security is top of the cards
just like Greece, Egypt, and Rome
greater empires have fallen

the chapter of the white-house is closing
brick by bloody brick
