Example 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.
