I need what is out there

Now more then ever

Reality, you see is such a scare

Thoughts I need to bare

Before they pull the nuclear lever

About a military horrific affair

Somewhere anywhere where

We must say together

With an angry swear

Embellished stories many share

Challenging everything including the weather

Creating an enemy’s sinister snare

That would compare

To the diplomatic tied up rope tether

Unleashed by the evil’s strategic, competitive, sporting murderous dare

I command hold that rocket’s explosive flair

And use a cleaning feather

To clean up the rhetoric tear

And talk peace, that is if you care
