Bombs Fly
Bombs fly as threats persist
Hatred shakes its angry fist
Shocking crisis across the world,
as continual attacks are unfurled
Nations at odds and the US won't stop
Where did we get the idea we're the cop?
I have never seen anything like it,
although this pattern has not quit
Now it has reached a peak, it's extreme
Our allies aren't even part of our team
There is horrible news but political silence
Friction surrounds us like a barbwire fence
There is risk, shock and gambling ways,
escalating by the minute these days
Now peace can only be found on your own
However you can, even seek it alone
