"Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime." Ernest Hemmingway
How do we plan to justify
The deaths of sons and daughters?
And the years that it takes to rectify
The damage of war and plunder
We resent when foreign beliefs of theirs
Are imposed upon our own
We fall for threats on freedom declared
Will come to hit us next at home
How far must we wade into the turmoil
These foreigners create?
When will our constant intervention
Be realized a mistake?
We can't control humanity
We cannot enforce our moral code
Should for once we try neutrality
These interventions are getting old
We pay for our intrusion
With their brutal terrorists acts
As we live with our illusion
We can make their people adapt
