RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: IRAN WAR
Closed
The Lincoln is abandoned *
The war still rages on
We’re down to muskets and cannons
Our fearlessness is gone
It’s a strange and deadly game
Where every turn seems wrong
The new military is dopin’
They are singing a new song
But the Strait is not open
And the war is getting long
We’re loud and we’re raging
We’re heading round the bend
Our ships and missiles aging
In a war that will not end
Our leaders are half mad
By now the whole world knows
It’s tragic and it’s sad
But that’s just how it goes
Everything is turning bad
And the Strait is still closed
It’s closed for the weekend
It’s closed another day
How long it’s closed depends
On what our leaders say
There is no way around
It might be closed til May
As our sense of outrage grows
And our hair is turning gray
But the Strait remains closed
And closed it will stay
* USS Lincoln
