Shake-Up, Break-Up and Wake-Up
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
received a little shake-up
when in '68 they turned on
'Abraham, Martin and John' *
Moses, Muhammed and Jesus
No longer seem to please us
'Environment, Equity and Energy'
Causes now spiritually seize us
The U.S., Britain and France
a ghost of a NATO alliance
The mantle of peace they don
faced with China, Russia and Iran
