• "This is an invasion
    An occupation
    Forget what you stood for
    And the roots of your nation.
    This is an invasion
    A desecration
    Of all that you stood for."

    "This is now our nation."

    "No." come the screams of the innocent and wronged.
    Blockades formed in the streets, arms linked in arms
    Previous enemies now allies, rallied as one.
    Noble intentions of preservation and peaceful protestation;
    Silenced by baying atom bombs.

    "A nation laid to waste for refusing reasonable terms.
    We offered them a place in our utopia. A future compliance,
    That was all that we yearned. Ignorance was their undoing,
    Our cause is just and true. These backwards countries and
    irrelevant theologies. Can’t they see we were tasked with
    illuminating their untruths? Their dictators were war mongers,
    idiotic and uncouth. We will show them democracy, through
    death or sanctioned political abuse."

    A culture wiped clean
    By the grim tides of violence spewed forth
    From the despicable War Machine.
    It feels no pity, empathy or remorse,
    Unable to relate to the destruction
    That forms the hypocritical heart of its cause.

    "Truly a shame this happened to them,
    But it will never happen to us.
    We are the carriers of empirical truths,
    Seeking out and destroying the ignorant unjust."

    A fallacy has never been more prevalent
    In a single other sentence of uttered words.
    Men of power will always masquerade rhetoric,
    Even as their soldiers are knocking at your door.

    But soon they all will realize
    Through the bloodletting
    And gore
    That no man is impervious
    To the all consuming hypocrisies of war.
