They Wanted an A-Bomb

For 46 years - prideful and hateful Wrath, envy, spreading the net Building an A-Bomb, a decision fateful A sword to be held, like eternal threat Destruction, murder, elimination Iran, to wipe Israel off the map A sordid task for the whole nation Stubborn threats, boasts, contempt It was their purpose, the goal, the aim To end every Jew on planet Earth Fanned hot Middle Eastern flame To Hamas and Hezbollah, they gave birth Spread the tentacles, to suffocate To build an Islamic Republic empire Never learned from the old caliphates They are all gone, purged by fire Lusted for bomb, to be held as a club Over every fearful head, forever Wanted to enter the atomic club By picking the locks and feeling clever The last mile, they were almost there To grip the victory with the jaws Removing all stops, and didn’t care Moving forward without pause But no, those dreams never came to pass Atomic Persia, the purveyor of dread Where are you now, evil top brass?
