Terry Brewer - The Gulf

SCUDs fly,
Why?
Patriots intercept,
So adept.
While politicians pose
With self fulfilling prose
and We the People
Weep.

Civilizations failed,
Derailed
by personal greed,
Freed
to cancer the world,
Hurled
Into unwanted conflict.
Reflect.

How do we ensure
No more
Shall dictators command.
We the People demand
That the world unite,
And with our collective might
Release
Peace
