Depleted

Post by witty_owl »

I wrote this as a response to an interview I heard on Radio National (Aust.)

Depleted (Dylan's deadly prophecy)

Depletion of a code of ethics
Depletion in the brain
Depletion of uranium
Here comes our Bob's 'Hard Rain'.

Back in nineteen ninety one
They called it the Gulf War
Georgie Porgie Senior gun
Swore to settle a score.

Depletion of a patient heart
Depletion of all morals
Depletion of uranium
A new hard rain of sorrows.

Desert Storm, the weather report
Three fifty tons of poison
A missile, shell and bullet sport
A twisted sense of reason.

Depleted hearts, depleted minds
Depleted waste uranium
A recipe for the greedy blind
To cook a deadly contagium.

Comes the century twenty one
Bad Saddam, he would not yield
Georgie Porgie the junior son
Trots out a Desert Shield.

Not enough to raze the poor
And seize petroleum
Two thousand tons of poison more
From depleted uranium.

Depletion of our safety zone
Add misery to pain
All for a contentious bone
Mr Zimmerman's? 'Hard Rain'.

"And it's a hard, and it's a hard,
and it's a hard, and it's a hard
and it's a hard rain's a gonna fall."

Is this the 'New World Order'? :cry: Witty Owl.

I like your poem, Witty Owl; and, you already know, I agree with your positions [Bob's, too].
