our ancient enemy
into the sea
After all the pilfering, plundering
and general mayhem
Our victory was complete
as we peed on the ashes
of their leveled cities
Generations of strife
fueled perpetually by hate
spent on a war
we never dreamt would end
Now was the time
to make the peace
but no one knew how
It had been so long
Media cheerleaders pondered
"If we turn off the war machine
what will become of our economy?"
and what will our holstered warriors do
without death jobs and a cause to die for?
So in this vacuum of sanity
our glorious military
took control of all diplomacy
The media was brought into line
ensuring the panic message
kept the coordinated hate fires burning
Conscientious politicians
who objected were summarily shot
Internal dissent
was brutally crushed
War was declared
on all enemies of the people
be they real or imaginary
Those they deemed impure
were made to disappear
Our new culture of fear
had redirected the war inward
Against an enemy
that use to be part of us
