Raghead: Waltz With Bashar (Part I)

Copyright B Purkayastha 2014

Hitler finds out about the civil war inside the civil war in Syria

Downfall parody created by me.

                                                                                                     Bill.

Meanwhile

They speak of the love affairs of celebrities

And the scores of sport stars

On live TV.

They speak of gourmet meals

And reality shows, and tell us what should matter

To you, to her, to him and to me.

And meanwhile, drones still fly

Over weddings and schools

Children die, and parents weep.

And meanwhile

The shadow of imperialism stalks 

Foreign lands. And meanwhile, freedom marches on

With boots blood-drenched with the souls of the 

Innocent, and the tears of the 

Unwillingly forsaken.

And meanwhile, countries scream

Under the bloodstained knives of freedom's warriors, 

Wherever and whoever they may be.

And, meanwhile, the planet bleeds oil

The air reeks poison, and the rivers seethe.

Not a word of that

Will they speak.
