Bountiful Land

They invaded this land because they thought it was rich With bountiful natural resources and endless wealth And a population to be enslaved against their will The battles were long and arduous but they finally won Another victory carved on their war axe With thousands of soldiers killed or wounded or missing This was nothing compared to the defenders Destruction was almost complete and off the scale Scorched earth policies and a will not to lose were to blame But lose they did to a superior enemy force Who now controlled a land of ashes and subjugated inhabitants But that was fine for under the ground there were riches Oil, gas, diamonds, coal, varied metal ores and much more This would further their wealth and war production and killing But it was all a lie… Rock samples proved it was a second Japan A barren land of nothing except dust, grit and dirt The invaders fell for the biggest lie in human history They had conquered a barren infertile land Involuntarily following the Devil’s actions to the letter His puppets on Earth killing for the lie of plunder And watched all the while by the witch Satan’s biggest enemy in the biggest war there was She waited and got ready to strike her blow With weapons never yet used on Earth Juniper’s Daughter: Fookin' Weech Nick Armbrister
