Poem Against Iraq War Over Again

Why must they lie all day and all night?Their reasons are feeble, the reasons to fight.For what have they as humans, done to us?never kicking up a storm nor making a fuss.No wrong, no right, ,no reason to fightSo leave them alone and don't bomb in the night.

Children crying, parents losing such blessed weightThey can't see, the reasons are building, the reasons for hate.They attack again, at dawn this time.Nothing's the same or ever sublime.The excuses they make, no truth or evidenceVanished from their country any form of eloquence.

Why must they lie all day and all night?There reasons are feeble, the reasons to fight.And us ourselves, we also support themSuck in their lies and further distort them.Stop them now, before it's too late.No chance, the world has immeasurable hateand all the hate received from themStarts the eternal chain over again.
