The second coming

 
If only we grasped how the real world works  
with its sneak body-mincing wheels in wheels,
and detect the operator's wicked smirk,
  
To expose foul thieves and strings they have jerked  
the deaths they have caused with their killer deals,
If only we grasped how the real world works...  
  
Then we'd see sick invasions have vast perks    
for crooked hands-across-the water schemes,
and, detect the string-puller's wicked smirk,
  
Their shrugs, death of children a business quirk,
as they persue their beastly cash dreams    
If only, we grasped how the real world works,
  
To see beyond the blood mist induced murk  
of blasted children, their deafening screams,
to detect the string pullers wicked smirk,
  
The rebuilding cash cost, a nagging irk,
But this is from where their vile thieved gold gleams,
If only we grasped how the real world works  
And detect the string pullers wicked smirks...
