Ravenous War

Once upon a Thursday dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, over many a weird and dubious story of worldwide news,  while I wondered, totally confused, suddenly there came a report, as of someone lighting up a world war fuse.

Just some fake news, I muttered, aiming to confound our American feast. Only this and nothing more. Presently I found myself confused; trump's lit up some world war fuse. I can't figure out this situation; it's looking like trump has gone off the deep end; he's lit up some world war conflagration! Deep into the streaming news I then descend; I begin to wonder at the conflict which to my mind appends. Who's the good guy and who's the bad? Why's the oval occupant so mad? Cahn says he's trying to save the Jews; maybe so; but with so many innocent school girls dead, he's blasting innocents to get ahead.  Seems to me like overkill; is this some kind of magamania thrill? Back into my streaming, turning, all my soul within me yearning to make some sense of this bellicose attack; now I see talking heads talking flack."Surely," said I, surely this impetuous act will soon subside; the smoke will clear; Israelis and Iranians will again abide. Let Israelis and Iranians just settle down; let 'em now rebuild their towns. But now the news, getting worse, still is creeping in a Persian hearse toward some global battle; we feel the world peace rattle. All eyes on the seething middle east, preparing now some vulture feast! The news casts shadows of some demon dreaming, while we sit here clueless, streaming. Now I ain't no Israeli and I ain'it no Shia Muslim; but when I get to heaven, Jesus said we'd all be cousins! . . . if you'll just follow him instead; you won't be eternally dead. Now if you think that heaven is just a wishful thinking, you'd better reconsider before war flashes find you blinking! If you think all is well; you might be a candidate for hell. Now I don't know but I have faith, that Christian love defeats religious hate. And I told him dat! Smoke
