RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: MIDDLE EAST
America First
Is this what we are fighting for?
When you pledge America first?
The Middle East in flames of war
Could it get any worse?
Israel wants mass destruction
Iran wants the bomb
Feel the blast, quake and suction
The bombing of Tehran
We had our massive wars of choice
Afghanistan and Iraq
America’s most horrific voice
Meant to awe and shock
It didn’t go as we had planned
The shock was to ourselves
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
A journey straight to hell
The way of war has gone too far
The path of escalation
We’re chasing ghosts and falling stars
The scourge of every nation
