Boom Mightier than Pen

  unanswered questions        
dont even get asked        
  by smoke filled men        
in smoke filled rooms        
   put Our best interests last        
busy trading futures        
   ignore the bloody past        
It's a small world after all        
   and gettin' smaller fast        
         
  It isn't very pleasant        
to face up to the Truth        
   just tune in to the Media        
and you will have your proof        
  aint quite the law of jungle        
no eye for an eye, no tooth for a tooth"        
  in this global came of war        
the profits must compute        
         
  the Kurds and Turks are at it again        
terrorists kill innocent children        
  narcotic cartels retaliation     
   
in this time        
    BOOM        
mightier than pen        
         
   them still at war in Afghanistan        
hunt mysogynist Taliban        
    nuclear capability reached by Iran    
       
in this time        
    BOOM        
mightier than pen        
         
   conflicts in Laos, Burma, Yemen,        
Somalia, Sudan, too much to mention        
information withheld from population    
        
in this time        
    BOOM        
mightier than pen
