When is enough enough,
When is the going just too tough.
Why do people have to die
Forever in the ground to lie.
Are the spoils worth all the pain
When the path is kill and maim.
Is barren land worth just so much
Now deprived of human touch.
Do fatherless children justify the cost
Memories of a generation lost.
Weeping mothers by the score
Adding every day far more.
Politicians acting blind
To the misery resigned,
Just numbers on a sheet
Conscious only of defeat.
Pride and hubris win the day
Reason not allowed to sway.
Yet solutions need be found
Striving to be clear and sound.
Calmer voices must assist
For further slaughter to desist.
The way forward won't be fast
Searching for a peace to last.
Neither side will win outright
Time for discourse not brute might.
Russia needs restore prosperity
Ukrainians live without temerity.
NATO over Libya
They know the way
where is your servant, they asked?
Drowned in a moot, he told tales about us
the story was the veracity
Our *********** was private.
You cannot open a tin of sardines
thinking it is olive flavoured.
They wanted the power the old dictator had
The one who gave them free education.
Our revolution was not new but greed.
We were laughed at, so hurtful
in our hands became a failed state.
Blockade Lift
They wanted the grain
Putin's ships stood in the way
And needed sinking immediately
They lifted the Russian naval blockade
Of Ukrainian ports with NATO warships
So the world wouldn't starve
Millions of tons of grain and wheat
This was the way forward
But Putin had other ideas
He was losing on land
And in the sky so badly
Ukraine was fighting for freedom
Putin hated NATO and the West
He launched his nuclear toys
Hitting the NATO ships and carriers
With torpedoes missiles rockets and more
All nuclear winning this battle
But losing everything when NATO
Hit Russian bases with their nukes
Thus setting in turn Armageddon
Dooming us all to varied deaths
It was a matter of fact
This would end bad
In so many ways
Nobody won World War 3
Nobody ate the freed grain
We were all dead
Vivid Orange
Sky black burnt like sack cloth by the fires
Endless fires vivid orange flames
Always orange as is the screams
Now invisible for they are dead
Bodies black ash blown about
Wind whipped up by the flames
Orange wind this way and that
Like the war win lose win lose
On and on till it simply ended
All dead nobody left to fight
Pull the trigger drop the bomb
Only orange remains so vivid
Like the old sports cars burnt orange
Part of the new world free of humans
Putin went mad NATO stopped him
The rest joined in so the world ceased
Just orange fires burning the skies
Little is now here from before
There is NATO and there are the Russians.
Their discord is not solved by discussions.
With suspicion is eyed
the arch-opposite side,
which may lead to uncool repercussions.
So Trump and Macron had a talk
Then both of them went for a walk
But not together
Because the weather
Could change before Trump's Penny Stock
Some people would rather be dead
Than see N.A.T.O. hang by a thread
They don't understand
That Trump thinks its grand
To sell off their assets instead!
Trump Ended Up at NATO
To places and countries Trump can go,
And he has ended up going to NATO;
No appeal;
Am imbecile;
So in his face should throw a tomato.
