A Tale As Old As Time

Strange faces
Of another land
Force a change in daily life
In a smoky, barren desert.
What right do you have to change the
world?
“Elected” puppets, accidental leaders
Tell lies to lead the way
In a fight for “Democracy”
Where soldiers murder innocence
And take more lives than improve.

A war against
A mere concept;
Terrorism will not be
Eliminated, only fueled.
What makes you think that this is right?
Appointed leaders, temporary puppets
Restore a broken nation,
Setting up for disaster
Down the road when the next
Generation will be at it again.
