Insanity

Policing the world U.S. takes up arms Never regarding Whomever they harm Ulterior motives Cleverly disguised Our allies no more The U.S. despised The economy’s fragile Barely recovered An internal threat Soon is discovered A war that is useless Wasted money spent Fought overseas Without Congress consent Wars of the past Have given us gain Selling munitions No goal to obtain Now we fight wars To enforce our ideals To control prices And make shady deals After destruction A new threat takes power With every conquest World relations sour What would it take For the nonsense to end? For troops to be used Mostly to defend?
