Retaliation
Updated: Mar 26, 2019
I nose around your patch
You do not want me there
Big and tough the way I see
I’m welcome everywhere
Think that you can stop me
Word to the wise: beware
No quarter for the innocents
There’s pain enough to share
Engage an old antagonist
A score unsettled still
Give comfort to their enemy
An act of earnest will
Acknowledging defeat, retreat
Always the bitter pill
The drums of war so hard to beat
Preying man, tis time to kill
You took back what I stole from you
A touchy situation
Seems the adult thing to do
Is get retaliation
rEjected the puppet
After decades of plunder
Such impudence
Can lead one to wonder
Just who decides
Whose boot to live under
With each forward charge
A colossal blunder
Ply you with weapons
And Bibles and cakes
Overcome the past
With brand new mistakes
Kind of amazing
The effort it takes
To gain an advantage
How much one forsakes
You took back what I stole from you
A touchy situation
It seems the adult thing to do
Exact retaliation
If you prick me
Do I not bleed
If you shred me
Do I not rend
Try to trick me
It’s guaranteed
You will find me
Not as your friend
Disguise civilian transport
As a militant attack
No choice but destroy it
Agony the missiles track
290 civilians
Blown apart into the sea
More retaliation for
Defiance successfully
You took back what I stole from you
A touchy situation
Seems the adult thing to do
Is get retaliation
Retribution overdue
Hatred’s solid foundation
As more enmities accrue
Realize retaliation
Realize retaliation
Realize retaliation
Realize retaliation
