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..?
