Desert Storm All Over Again
DESERT STORM ALL OVER AGAIN
Destiny is an ideal
An idea that destroyed him
Fate is a cruel mistress
That chews love up again and again
Promising Fantastical futures
Never prophesizing the real.
This is it
This is a line in the sand
This is forever
Is this a great loves end?
It was stupid to expect anything
Other than disappointment
It was so stupid of him.
To put these expectations
On an unavailable soul to depend.
A critical mistake
Entering this war, without an ability to win.
This campaign of chemical warfare
This operation to destroy happiness and freedom
This useless grudge-driven conflict
Is not aware
That we sacrifice when we win
Our own liberation.
Indigenously unfair.
