Plutonium Throat

The roaches keep launching attacks.
Then scurrying back into Satan's dirty crack.
Covering their backs with the children of Gaza.

Launch, then hide- launch, then hide.
When they lose ground, they call for a ceasefire.
Understand, there can never be peace. 
As long as these hellhounds are off their leash.

Nobody in these three-ringed regimes mentions the hostages anymore.
Nobody remembers October 7
or September 11
let alone the holocaust.
Short-term memory problems for those with long-term limits.

Nobody dares to put the bullseye on Iran.
Who has the real blood on their hands.
Billions of U.S. dollars fund the attacks of these ogres.
Whose soul do they own, just asking for a friend? 

Get their undivided attention.
Lay waste to the Persian oilfields.
Parch their treasure chests.
Maybe then peace can prevail.
Then the Bedouins of heaven and the children of Christ can rest.

Until then, I think we're heading down the plutonium throat of Armageddon.

You've got your finger right on the pulse of what's happening in Gaza and the Middle East, Anthony. 100%. Wish more people realized the truth that you see. I appreciate this write. ~ Gershon
