Poem
Missiles Launched
The hawks of war are
given cause
by rogue depots
exporting hate.
Their missiles met
now with applause
from hating killers
may tempt fate.
Unsheathe the swords of war.
Let power fall to
terrorist
Organs of any
stripe, then know
that peaceful folks
will not resist
what will most
surely be the flow.
Unsheathe the swords of war.
Israel has
restrained and we
at cabinet levels
have been mute,
regarding
retaliatory
actions. But at some
time we'll shoot.
Unsheathe the swords of war.
