Hypocrisy, Lies Or Bombs And Missiles Poem by Murphy Payne

In the name of human decency
There is never been a purer lie
Than that which cause bombs and missiles to fly
In God’s beautiful star lit night sky

What’s more deadly?
With bombs and missiles you know the answer
But hypocrisy, and lies now that’s a different cancer
Which will be spun and pervaded throughout history
Until we all believe the right thing was done
For generations to come

Since the Reagan days
This plan has been in motion not by chance
But tweaked along the way
As technology led the big dance

Now historians will surely believe
That justice is served when missiles leave their sleeves
Thus hypocrisy kicks in, followed by the official spin
Our way of life would forever be changed
If the monster maintained his head

Are missiles and bombs sorties more deadly at night?
Are the rockets red glare more beautiful in flight?
Are the surface ships at sea and planes above
The modern ramparts Mr. Key spoke of?

Only a billion dollars squandered this week
And no civilian casualties, well that’s a relief!
Our elected officials cheering in the background
Because, suddenly we are not broke anymore

Let’s hear it for the red, white and blue
