An Eye For An Eye
The Twin Tower fell
A dastardly crime
A fact not diminished
By the passage of time.
The perpetrators were Saudis,
But Saudi Arabia supplied oil
A comfortable relationship
The West didn’t want to spoil.
They had to do,something,
That was quickly understood,
So they invaded Afghanistan
Just because they could.
After twenty years of chaos
The West withdrew
And the rule of the Taliban
Began again anew
Leaving a battered country
As only invasion can.
Osama Bin laden and crew
Had been found in Pakistan.
There’s a bright end to this story
Realtions with Saudi didn’t spoil
And so to this very day we
Can till rely on their oil.
There’s a Twin Tower Memorial
Bearing each victim’s name:
Sadly over in Afghanistan
They’ve not done the same.
