Much Ado About Nothing
I doubt that the rest of the world is very concerned with
Our country's approaching election. Our figurehead is
Going to change, but, otherwise, virtually nothing will.
Our troops will remain everywhere they have been. Our
Money and weapons will let the Israelis continue their
Efforts at genocide. We'll still bully China, Iran, North
Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba, Syria, Nicaragua, too,
Simply because we have and we can. We won't do
Very much to reduce global warming or better the lives
Of the billions of poor. We'll keep spending money which
We haven't got, and keep growing older and less
European. Headlines will proclaim a great transformation,
Which no one who's not us will see.
