Alms not Arms


Remember when the west was blessed safe from harms

Knew new secular psalms disarms with vernacular charms

Or calms any qualms or alarms with those boozy balms

Now USA commands AI lie farms and Mar a Lago palms

Blight of trite so called Christian right their call to arms 

Islam’s Zakat demands that poor get alms in their palms

Forget regret silhouette Vietnam's reprimands napalms
