Cruise Missile.

Bridging an empty gulf,
A missile in the air,
Threatening to engulf,
Up everyone I care.

Cruise missile on it’s way to war,
Deathly silence we’ve survived this all before.

Another allied invasion,
All over this black gold,
It’s just large scale tax evasion,
They haggle over the price it’s sold.

Cruise missile on it’s way to war,
We’ve seen the violence and survived before.

We live here in this poverty,
The conditions here are dire,
The people here are cold and hungry,
Don’t have fuel here for the fire.

Cruise missile on it’s way to war,
Death’s arriving on our front door.

Crusie Missile?  Hmm, you won points on creativity, that's for sure...

Interesting ideas...let's hope our Bush doesn't decide to go barking up that tree again...
