The Trilogy
A metaphorical allegory
A real life war story
The first one was to end them all
So they called it great
The next saw evil rise and fall
One's hate had sealed his fate
One Korea to Saigon
Russia to Bulgaria-
China to Taiwan
Bloodshed in Syria
My God, oh my dear God
A rhyme to this riddle
A time span
we're in the middle
Then rising from the East
conflicts in between
Dragons, bears n beasts!
Silent ears...and calls for peace
The cries...the sighs
The where's and the why's?
The children, the wives
fight or fold...from high up in the sky
the truth out there untold
"kill- means clean"
" infidels, in hell there time convenes "
Paradise for martyrs
Now hot under my collar
The hot spots from the steam
An Eagles founding father's??
Please wake me from this dream!
Then Star's and stripes, lit up at night!
Stay and Fight or fly away?
Then carnage-all I'd seen!
Yet not to their dismay
To me what did this mean?
Yes Oh yes we'de pay
Learning things-
the hard way
So Stubborn us beings
Between two and four
Once blind -now seeing
The topic here is war
No trees in this here art
From sea to shining sea
A trilogy...we'de play our part
This land for you and me
Why didn't We?...
When did it start?It's planned...
It's World War Three..?
