I’m glued to the TV watching WW III
What could be its very likely beginning
We just committed an act of war
Against Iran; we’re now in for
More escalation with no one winning
Reprisals back and forth we’ll see
Trump, to create a massive diversion,
Directed a strike in Baghdad, Iraq
To kill Soleimani, the head of Quds Force,
Iranian second in power, the source
In the area of terror attacks
Killing Americans throughout the region
Qasem Soleimani was highly revered
By Shiites throughout the local states
He’s been immune from assassination
Fearing reprisals against our nation
He’s not been a target, the risk was too great
‘Though opportunities there always were
But Trump in his wisdom in need of diversion
Decided to kill Soleimani out right
No notice to Congress, the key Gang of Eight
Nor did Congress authorize Soleimani’s fate
Trump has no idea what might be in sight
How, what, when and where will come retaliation
Force begets more force toward.war escalation
Death begets more death, each sides’ retribution
In over responses, increased provocations
The only solution is negotiation
