The Balloon Invasion

Dear Belarus  
We need a truce
From the deceptive abuse 
Balloons in flight 
We all see the commerce sight
Bringing packs of smoke  
Sounding like a crooked joke  
When they drop
Stop 
Think what they will do to our future crop
Using those former theatrical cool props  
Known to charm  
Reality doing harm
Luring youth to a picture filled with power 
Cowboys and planted flowers 
Puffing away
Later who will pay  
Believing the marketed, product to sell  
Distorting  human blood cells
Paving a pathway through hell 
Still weary  
Our other theory 
Raisin 
About this floating invasion 
Where territory gets its mark 
Sending a message in the dark
We can shoot them down 
If they do not turn around 
And go home
All alone
Pondering everything 
Especially who has the talent to sing
