Poem for #Syria #choices

BBC parliament
It’s a hell of a channel
Law makers discussing
History in the present
Making choices
On war

Mistake
It’s a word which has been used a lot
As they line up the fighter jets on the Mediterranean coast
As they line up the bodies killed by sarin gas
As they line up the men ready to fight
As they line up the polls at the times newspaper
As they line up the the submarine sinkers with Russian flags
As Assad rests his eyelids for a night of sleep

The law makers know that the government are diving in

Syria and Lebanon
Croatian Arms, Saudi Money
Jihad

Lets spank Assad and blow up his play things

Iranians capturing British troops
Iraq

Mistakes 1914
Lets remember
Lets knee jerk

Green seats in Parliament

The Syrian people
They have all their opinions
100000 dead
At least

What is out of our control
UN inspectors
And a big button to press for death
No button to press for life

Round and round in circles

But when we’re dead
We’re dead
