Agony

AGONY

Sweet Spirit screams, "It's wrong! It's wrong!"
Bleak Reason soothes, "Be strong, be strong.
There is no other way."

"There has to be," sweet spirit moans
"A child abandoned, all alone
Dead among the rubble?"

"Collateral damage, that is all.
The Taleban is sure to fall.
Just a little longer.

Our powerful leader hides no more
We teeter on the brink of war
But now the world is one.

With club and cash God's made his pact
United peoples now must act
To smooth the leader's path."

Sweet Spirit says, "Of course! I see!
My sentiment mere luxury
That blurs the one true aim.

Please carry on, let children die
As nations pluck eye for an eye
Soon earth will rest in peace."
