Verlena S. Walker Poet Limerick

Uproar In the Middle East

A Famous Einstein Quote: Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
UPROAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST
In the Middle East they fight as control freaks.
Islamic State walking with their machetes.
In Iraq, al-Baghdadi is yellow teethed.
He is like an East African [g]o[d] in hideous heat.
The people survey said he takes leaks.
