Insanity
Policing the world
U.S. takes up arms
Never regarding
Whomever they harm
Ulterior motives
Cleverly disguised
Our allies no more
The U.S. despised
The economy’s fragile
Barely recovered
An internal threat
Soon is discovered
A war that is useless
Wasted money spent
Fought overseas
Without Congress consent
Wars of the past
Have given us gain
Selling munitions
No goal to obtain
Now we fight wars
To enforce our ideals
To control prices
And make shady deals
After destruction
A new threat takes power
With every conquest
World relations sour
What would it take
For the nonsense to end?
For troops to be used
Mostly to defend?
