Drastic Action May Be Needed

The drastic measures of our governments They say will bring more safety to the world. But one wonders what is their desired intent? As we watch the roll of images uncurl. As Paris is much closer than the Middle East We fear that we too might be soon attacked. This shows us humans are yet narcissistic beasts. We narrow gaze to Europeans’ lacks. Ironic thoughts of Armistice appear. How France and Britain punished Ottoman. No vision of a future hell was feared. An Empire to be looted;oil rich lands. Now our world has shrunk and history repeats: It’s folly to ignore our real defeat.
