The Sprawling War

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: IRAN WAR

 

The Sprawling War

 

This is the harm one man can do

Given a position of power

Pushed into war by Netanyahu

We are in the twilight hour

 

Egypt enters the sprawling war

Yemen is the bleeding ground

No one knows what’s next in store

The Israelis are unbound

 

There is no rhyme or reason

To restrain this raging violence

We’ve proclaimed the warring season

Every side must take offense

 

Across the world the madman rages

With America in the fold

It spreads and sprawls in stages

It seems Putin is growing bold

 

And Trump is playing Dangerfield *

He is getting no respect

With all the weapons he could wield

At best he feels neglect

 

It seems the wars will never end

But certainly they must

Peace is coming round the bend

Let’s rebuild a sense of trust

 

* Comedian Rodney Dangerfield
