We'll all line up behind you
And smack Iran
Hey
We'll repeat Iraq again
WMD in spades
Hey Bibi did you ever
Read about the ancient prophet
Named Micaiah
Wouldn't advise it Bibi
But since you didn't ask
I will remind you
Miciah told the king
Just what I'm saying now
Go up and conquer
Bibi
Every bad deed deserves
A repetition
Isn't that so
Does the idea of spiritual progress
Ever occur to you
Bibi
The cause of states
Breed the causes of state
The string that knots forever
Squeezes out
A child's learning
Consigns religion to
The role of compliant
Priests and scribes
Turns critics into dancing minions
Of the states
Or dancing minions who would rule the state
We'll try to tone this down
A little Bibi
Say Iran's at fault
You know the drill
But please recall
That first war we call world
Do you remember the name of the Archduke
Or why he was shot
Or what posturing preceded
That brief death
The same show Bibi
Micaiah and Jesus knew a thing or two
Do you think you know it all
States are irredeemable
Only in those with ears to hear
Is spiritual progress made
Oh Bibi are you chortling
Or are you shaking
Do you dream of peace
Or hear sad marching in your nightmares
What of Washington
I mean the city
The man who lives there
I feel initiatives a'brewin'
I feel catastrophe a'strain' at the bit
Here at the epicenter I type away
Look down where Walt once walked
Methinks he would now shed a tear
For what we might become
If we have not already
Become it
And are already blind

Post a CommentGreat job, Stephen. Though Jesus was quick to set straight the religious establishment, he never once attacked the govern authorities. Of slavery, he spoke not; taxes he paid; and when beaten and cursed, he reviled not again. Indeed, we are command to submit to all authority, the good and the bad. We are so greedy, so self-centered, and so filled with hate. May our hearts turn to love and leave behind the war.
