Iron Curtain

Winston Churchill- the Tailor
chose material, designed fashion

Franklin D Roosevelt- the Weaver
later wove success with Marshall magic

Joseph Stalin- the Color Master
painted the Curtain with blood of soldiers

Adolf Hitler- the Spirit
provided living fear among architects

Victims- the haunting ghosts
precaution never to resurrect from the dead

The world- the watchman
 soon fell asleep allowing war without war

So it happened in aftermath
with organic fabrics exhausted, metals served

with professional clothiers on imaginary strike
willing blacksmiths were readily available

Iron Curtain was built in haste
to erect durable peace, security outside the heart
