Morocco Bombings

Contributed by Steeleyes on Sunday, 18th May 2003 @ 04:05:00 AM in AEST
Topic: oops

Let no one think this is easy
That Bush can spout some pretty story
And make it all alright

Let no one think this is simple
Like cowboys in black hats and white
Fighting the good fight

The shades of grey are many
People ALWAYS killed for noble causes
Who's 'right' depends on who you are

It was 'right' for Reagan to back Pinochet
And thousands died for that
It was 'right' for napalm in 'Nam
Burning children where they sat

It was 'right' for Sharon to bulldoze a woman
And bury her in rubble
It was 'right' for Clinton to bomb Libya
And bring THAT country trouble

Where you stand rests on where you sit
We all want a peaceful life
But if your life is full of *****
Hatred becomes rife

Now we have Morrocco
And tomorrow who knows where?
Bush will mouth words written
To make him seem strong and fair

But another bomber will be born
Who hears only hatred
Bombs will be born in the heart
Until humanity is sacred

There must come a time
For solutions
Not simply words of hate
If we don't seek understanding
It may all end up too late

1 Your poem is written very well
2 The contents has made thinking
people go back to drawing boards
3 Tell me what to do to change the
strife and I'll do it.
4 The problem:not only Morocco but in
my own backyard...
5 Hell of a world
