The blatant horror

         Of our War on Terror!

Behold the face:

What’s left to efface?

A child of innocence

Woken by the impudence

Of political vengeance

And self-righteous insolence!

     There’s scope

     On the Afghan slope

     For dope!

     There’s crude

     In the oil wells

     Of corporatism!

     There’s wealth

     In the stealth

     Of evil!

     There’s peril

     In the anvil

     Of imperialism!

Maker of the Universe:

Where’s the prism

To the converse?

The menacing power

Of our War on Terror!

Behold the face

Pleading grace!

A child of humanity

Petrified by our insanity

To displace human ease

With nuclear disease!
