Note: this a villanelle, hence the repetition. The form seemed to fit the content. We can only regret that the world has slid into a spasm of hatred, almost as Bloody as the Cold War. Essentially, the new polarity, draws upon a centuries-old conflict between Christianity and Islam. But aren't religions supposed to be about love?
Ecstatic crowds shout ‘USA!’
Exalted by an execution
The world has gone mad today
Is there no still voice to say
That revenge is no solution?
Ecstatic crowds shout ‘USA!’
For them, war is mere play
A bloody game of retribution
The world has gone mad today
Mad for the screaming lie
Of a final restitution
Ecstatic crowds shout ‘USA!’
The pale horse of death rides by
In its jaws, the constitution
The world has gone mad today
Interred at Gauntanamo Bay
The ideals of a revolution
Ecstatic crowds shout ‘USA!’
The world has gone mad today
