99 Red Balloons

Iran wants to wipe Israel off of Earth's face
Also denying the Holocaust ever took place
Yet their disdain for the U.S. is much worse
As with missiles and warheads they rehearse 

As we sit idly by with any embargo's removed  
Their ability to strike us will soon be proved
Within one year I heard it would become true
And so all the conclusions from which I drew

It is not actually the sky itself that is falling
But it's the consequences that are so appalling 
"A red moon, a darkened sun and columns of smoke(Joel 2:30)
I always try to tell people that the Bible is no joke 

But don't worry about a thing you just enjoy life
For why should one even care about such strife
Well maybe you should go read the rest of the Book
I think you might retain a whole new different outlook

I like this. I wrote something similar called Extinctions.
