You can posit agendas,
Strategize and plan,
But do you really think you could ever
Make peace with Iran?
Countries have interests,
Not friends or allies;
The Strait of Hormuz
Has put stars in Trump’s eyes.
Iran controls Hormuz;
All ships but theirs blockaded,
US warships under fire,
Their broken ceasefire unabated.
Oil is big money;
If Trump could just tie that knot.
Shown to be a paper tiger,
But it’s still worth a shot.
Trump promised reprisals,
Retaliation he’d take,
But the Saudis lulled him into
Playing patty-cake.
They’ve enriched Trump and friends;
Their “suggestions” carry weight.
When the line keeps getting crossed,
Threaten—and negotiate.
The Ayatollah’s death squads
Are effective and well known;
40,000 Iranian citizens
Killed in one weekend alone.
Still, America, the “Great Satan,”
Is trying all they can
To seal the deal
And sign a treaty
With Iran.
Israel, the “Little Satan,”
Has much more at stake;
May both “Satans”
Not be fooled
Into trusting the snake.
Should Iran achieve
Nuclear capacity,
G-d forbid, we could see
World War III.
Iran would gladly arm, for money,
Many other Arab states;
The existential threat for Israel
Exacerbates.
Iran has clearly stated
Their raison d’être;
It’s the same as their proxy,
Hezbollah.
Peace sounds so lovely,
And war is so grim;
But if someone says he wants to kill you—
Believe him!
Don’t sign up with the devil;
He’ll burn you every time.
Netanyahu, stop putting
Israel’s safety on the line.
We know you love America
Like she is your best friend,
But now you must lead
Or be
Led to a dead end!
