A final solution.

A final solution.

Yesterday we laughed

Drank wine, broke bread

Played cards for a while

Talked football and boxing

Long into the night

Ali and Foreman

What a fight

United in history

We were brothers in arms

Until the sun rose

And we took our leave

Parting as friends

On divergent paths

Each one leading to

A different conclusion

And now we stand

So far apart

There is little chance of reunion.

How can it be so?

When together

We pulled the wall down.

So why let it be re-erected

By the haters, dictators

And agitators,

The power hungry and greedy

Who exploit the needy

For their own ends

And never really ever

Make amends

For the pain they inflict

On the world,

But keep pitting us

Together

In an endless fight

For the higher ground,

A pointless charade

Dressed up as morality,

When to be heard

Is the province

Of the loudest voice

And people like us

Are the drones

Giving our blood

And our bones

As we lose our lives

To feed the hives

Save the queen

And all her court

Who priss and preen

Turn the air green

But still win

Every fight

And remove our right

To say no

Stop the war

Don’t let hatred grow,

It is time we brought

An end to violence

Let old quarrels go

And for killing to cease

We need peace.
