A Time for More War (Free verse) by dougsoderstrom

For all good men it is a time for more war, A time for the world to try to even the score, Bush has his bombs, Saddam his weapons too, A fight to the bitter end----then the world will be no more!

But it is not really coming across as satire like a few of your other poems and therefore, in my opinion, it comes out as being straightforward, which, in my opinion, makes it sound ridiculous rather than humorous, which is possibly your intended meaning. In a situation like this you go almost use the tactic of crossing the line with humour which would force people to be disgusted and stunned, but force laughter as a nervous response. I do not know, you are the psychologist; you should really know how to manipulate a good yarn. As far as the actual recourse, I agree, but again I think it lies in the current policy that is before congress and most of the agenda is being puppeted through Bush by DICK. This is all his policy. He was spouting "pre-emptive" way back when. Invading Iraq is only a first step. Did you read the policy? It seems we no longer respect the concept of sovereignty considering we will no longer allow any other country to compete with us as a military super power. So does this mean pre-emptive strikes are in the future toward China?
