USA: Protector of Monarchies

They are back
those Bush-era
neo-cons
have returned
with a vengeance
they lied
us into
shock & awe
and are now
deceiving
to set up
the next tragic
bombing run

The NY Times
and Washington Post
just carried
Op-Eds
from the likes
of war criminal
John Bolton
calling on the
US-Israel
unholy alliance
to unleash
their reign of terror
against Iran

The Obama
team
is also infested
with neo-con
vermin
the man
who ran
on the peace message
won the Nobel prize
now
mixing it up
with the worst characters
that Amerika
has to offer

The other US ally
in this suicidal
rush into war
with Iran
is the head-choppin
oil-rich monarchy
in Saudi Arabia
they fund
Sunni extremists
throughout
the region
we supply their weapons
and give them cover
by having our
presidents kiss
them on the cheeks

the USA
long ago
in revolt
against a royal family
has fallen
fallen
fallen
far from its once
mighty
claim
of democracy
and freedom
from despotism

we now carry water
for the greedy
desert kings

Washington
is lost
in the darkness
all for the toxic
black gold
