THE UNOBTAINABLE PEACE


Whilst landward 

We strive for the unobtainable peace

On the oceans 




Reigns the universal cannibalism of the sea 


Quite like the quest by Captain Ahab for Moby Dick 


Seemed fancifully lofty

 
So are the images of the killing of Libya's Colonel Khadafy 

Be wary of overzealous military 

In pursuit of hegemony 

"I'd strike the sun if it insulted me" 

Is not a coherent Foreign Policy

We have survived Fascism 

The Holocaust

The threat of nuclear annihilation and terrorism 
Hiroshima and Nagasaki 
And communism

With immoral distinction 

The more we foster hate

 
Traipse foreign plains with a cowboy's gait

 
The faster it will lead to our extinction
