War Or Health Care?


Has it occurred to you how we are paying for this war,
A war Trump’s waging with Iran, the death, destruction, gore?
We’ve cut our funds for healthcare, a debate that has no end.
Our values being tested, what does this debate portend?

To wage war with Iran costs us a billion bucks a day.
The bombs, the planes, the drones, the ships, dead soldiers in the fray.
Last year, the Congress passed what is the sum of Liberal fears,
Which will cut Medicaid a trillion bucks, the next ten years. (1)

A billion bucks a day for war, paid for with health care cuts.
We bombed a girls’ school in Iran, and sprayed their blood and guts.
So several dozen schoolgirls died because we bombed Iran.
Death over there, death here at home, effects of Donald’s plan.

Exactly why did we attack? Their God has the wrong name?
Trump gives us shifting reasons as he sets the world aflame.
He said they soon could have The Bomb, therefore he must attack.
But didn’t he “obliterate” their program a while back?

Some MAGAts say the reason for this war is Israel, (2)
That Bibi has fooled Donald, to help smite the infidel.
Iran maintained for years it would erase the Jewish state.
For Bibi, war is self-defense, he can’t just sit and wait.

The Middle East has been at war for four millennia.
First, Sumer, Egypt, Persia, Babylon, Assyria.
The Canaanites and Israel, the Hittites, (now the Turks,)
Then Sykes-Picot, in World War One, no peace, for nothing works.

The Greeks and Romans came and went; now they are both long gone.
The Ottomans then had control; they too, could not hang on.
The Muslims do not like the Jews and Jews reciprocate.
If you think Donald Trump can solve this, you’re decerebrate.

Soon, Trump will have to come to Congress to ask them for more,
For Medicaid? Oh, don’t be silly. He’ll want funds for war.
Invertebrate Republicans: Mike Johnson and John Thune,
Will raise their arms in praise and join in singing Donald’s tune.
