Poem To Stop The War
( a laureates decree )
“ Pen a peace and stop the war “
<>
Request denied, my integrity
would be compromised by such
a contribution, because I was not
summoned to compose one for Iraq.
Besides, death is the ultimate
democracy, as not all are fortunate
enough to be born, but those of us
who were, get the opportunity to die.
The problem is, not at the same time.
Everyone has an axe to grind with
the colonisers and sure what could
sweeter than to see the great powers
annihilate themselves, everyone loves
fireworks, we missed 1666 in London.
Russell Brand said he doesn’t want
to see a nuclear escalation because
he has children, piffle I say, that is
like a woman pushing a pram
out on to the street to halt traffic.
The earth shows up those of value
and those who are good for nothing,
besides, if you believe in God there's
nothing to fear and the evolutionists
don’t mind a bit of it either, so no, I
refuse to write an anti war poem.
