Occupation

The occupation

Black is yellow
Amber is green
War is peace 
And everything is the truth
When spoken from an autocue.
By a man who never got
An Oscar.
More wars in Afghanistan
And it will go on till someone loses
In this case, the invaders.
A dead sea of suffering 
May the west be forgiven
Trespassing
In the Middle East.
In the end, Israel
The western transplant 
Will not set root.
Two thousand years is a long time.
