The Conquest

Written By:  D. Collins 3/8/26


It was the word used when Spain killed the Aztecs.
Is it now America's agenda if Cuba is next?
Venezuela and Iran were the first on the list.
Hopes to reign in Canada was abruptly dismissed.


Are Mexico and Brazil within obtainable sites?
Since they don't have nukes or our military might.
The conquest may extend to Argentina and Peru.
Our bullying tactics are what all bullies do.


Iran is the exception that has gotten us drawn in.
Israel finally found a bloke to fight the war for them.
The conquest is moving forward with ferver and passion.
What we once called wars are labeled kinetic actions.
