ILLUSIONS
Written by: D. Collins 4/19/17

I sit back and hear experts speak of America’s might.
Yet, none have seen a foxhole in a serious fight.
They haven’t a problem in offering up our sons.
No one has ever survived in fighting multiple fronts.

If North Korea is bombed, what do you think China would do?
Jump on the bandwagon and come to our rescue?
They would seriously think that they are next.
There would be havoc reeked coming from the West.

Try bombing Syrian planes parked at a Russian base.
Would Putin get involved without a moment’s waste?
That intervention would actually come from the East.
Tag-Teaming America like Satan’s ordained beasts.

Let’s not forget the Allies that we have pissed off.
Will they come a calling because we ran our mouth?
I doubt it seriously, of which, I’m willing to bet.
‘Cause we’ll be in no position to write them a check.
