WAR
THE NO-NAME WAR (HOW ABOUT WWIII?)*
Woodsmoke in the air just received T.O. glare from
petite mother with tiny tot This rankles +prickles
My kindly has gone missing as I sit here hissing a tune
Even find myself glaring at hardworking squirrels +lanky
blonde children For pity’s sake why are they not in school?
Today Barak & Angela met with the U.N. security council
to outlaw jihadi-tourism Many of us are wondering just how
they will accomplish this What are your reasons for travel
today Mr. Terrorist? Perhaps this is why petite mother scowls
She knows her kid will inherit a headsonpikes kind of world
Thought we’d finished with this by 1792
Found a new park today where eco-friendly parents escort unholy
group of children most barefoot on ground full of rocks glass +
excrement Kids now running for the ice cream truck 20’s blowing
in the breeze I thought such parents were against the evils of white
sugar? One boy wears an: I’m Not A Role Model tee I begin to wonder
if woodsmoke is from a scented candle
Without Haji Obama we would lose our heads said Sheik Mohammed Bozan
It seems that illness is in the forecast while back at the U.N. Barak &
Angela dance real slow Was a time when poems flowed about ochre
leaves +scent of coming snow Not a single mother wears lipstick here
in my new park *(MAC City of Sin could do wonders) While off camera
there is a scraggly wolf scaling the Gates of Heaven
