Stop the Bombing

In the East the wind is blowing

Poisoned dust of fire and lies

And the US keeps on killing

Destroying innocent Muslim lives

 

Stop the bombing

Our world is dying

Children crying

Stop the bombing

Now
Behind the door sits evil Zion

In his pocket Washington cries

And down south in deepest Riyadh

A Sheik listens closely to his spies

 

Stop the bombing

Our world is dying

Children crying

Stop the bombing

Now

 

Back in Paris the poets ponder

Bertolt Brecht does up his flies

Vladimir prepares his bright red hammer

The victims cry to the darkening skies

 

Stop the bombing

Our world is dying

Children crying

Stop the bombing

Now

 

And now China joins the onslaught

Blowing desert dirt into allied eyes

The world war is just beginning

Fury lives as mankind dies

 

Stop the bombing

Our world is dying

Children crying

Stop the bombing

Now

Poem: Red or White

Herbert Asquith

Watched bullets flail

I will not wear red

Neville Chamberlain

Moved from hail to heil

I will not wear red

Clement Atlee

Tied to a US coat tail

I will not wear red

Harold Wilson

Allowed peace to fail

I will not wear red

Margaret Thatcher

Let a nuclear armada sail

I will not wear red

John Major

Fell for the Kuwait tale

I will not wear red

John Major

Hit Bosnia’s coffin nail

I will not wear red

Tony Blair

Bombs went off the Richter scale

I will not wear red

Tony Blair

He should have gone to jail

I will not wear red

142 million murdered civilians

Can you hear the dead wail?

I will not wear red… I will wear white
