Because of the law of
Unintended consequences
We need to take a deep breath
And come to our senses
A war with Iran
Would be very expensive
Therefore, there’s a need
For us to be pensive

A war with Iran
Would cost so many lives
That thought alone,
Should give us the hives
Think of the mothers
Fathers and wives
Before we decide to
Bring out the knives

Iran fought Iraq
When the death toll was millions
And the cost in treasure
Went up in the trillions
They also lost count
Of their dead civilians
Taken back to the age
Of the reptilians

Once we go in,
How do we get out?
Clearly that’s something
Worth thinking about
And what do we do
To find another route
For us to get all
The oil out?
