One strike from the air should be considered one airstrike
yet here in America we conflate air raids with airstrikes.

We say one plane dropping one bomb is an airstrike
but five planes dropping twenty bombs is also an airstrike
obfuscating the definition of the term
to lessen its rhetorical effect
and the statistics of our shady war efforts.

In terms of airstrikes we should count every explosive munition
because on the ground people are dealing with individual impacts
but our imperial aerial view makes it look like just one big explosion.

AMERICA FRANCE AND THE UK
AIRSTRIKES ARE NOW A SOLUTION
WILL RUSSIA AND SYRIA STRIKE BACK
IS PEACE NOW NOT A RESOLUTION



CHEMICAL WEAPONS HAVE BEEN USED
THAT KILLED SYRIANS OWN PEOPLE
WILL THIS CAUSE A WORLD WIDE WAR
WILL OUR WORLD NOW BE CRIPPLED



OUR WORLD IS NOW IN A HORRIBLE PLACE
WHERE LIFE IS NOW NOT PURE
WHAT IS A LIFE REALLY WORTH
FOR PEACE IS NOW NOT SURE


WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO BRING PEACE
WHAT IS LIFE REALLY WORTH TODAY. NOW MORE INTERVENTION FORM AMERICA IS OUR WORLD ON THE BRINK OF DESTRUCTION.
