Desert Storm All Over Again

DESERT STORM ALL OVER AGAIN Destiny is an ideal An idea that destroyed him Fate is a cruel mistress That chews love up again and again Promising Fantastical futures Never prophesizing the real. This is it This is a line in the sand This is forever Is this a great loves end? It was stupid to expect anything Other than disappointment It was so stupid of him. To put these expectations On an unavailable soul to depend. A critical mistake Entering this war, without an ability to win. This campaign of chemical warfare This operation to destroy happiness and freedom This useless grudge-driven conflict Is not aware That we sacrifice when we win Our own liberation. Indigenously unfair.
