PAROLE BOARDS AND OTHER PLACES

free countersA WAR OVER THERE
By
James Bredin

A war here, a famine there, group genocide that we are aware,
Maybe an earthquake or tidal wave calling for soldiers over there?
At what point will we realize that we can't cure all the wrongs?
When one half the world and the other half may not get along.

And being politically correct doesn't seem to help one bit,
Where more than half of our UN members don't seem to give a shit,
But tax-and-spend politicians seem to feel that they are so cool,
Maybe a noble peace prize here somewhere in this bloody pool.

But they got where they are in a system of first past the post,
No equalization or proportional representation to boast,
Where politicians talk about a war and their self righteous rules,
Will someone open a window and let in some light for these fools?
