Shifting Sands
Looking off towards the Middle East, never really a peaceful land
But what lately has been unleashed no one can really understand
For the sands have been shifting in such an unprecedented manner
Through the goodness he is sifting, things can never be as they were
The Israeli's are again on high alert but for Israel it is but another day
For so long We would just skirt because in reality we were so far away
But then such winds would begin to blow in covering our own ground
At first it didn't really even show as there wasn't that much around
But lately the spiral went out of control, yet another vacuum created
In taking America from it's known role any such bully would be elated
Not there to keep the order anymore as our hands have now been tied
Kind of waiting for a knock on the door for WE have long since been tried
This wind has only just begun to blow with many other things to come
Everything that everyone should know if they didn't act so darn dumb
They don't sit around and bluff but instead lie in wait as We grow weak
But I've already said enough, besides, really who am I to even so speak
