why do you always laugh
it’s not really funny at all
when the warmongers lose
they coming running
well actually it’s more like a crawl
with belated apologies
caught on their lips
extolling the virtues of peaceful coexistence
now that they’ve completely bungled and
undoubtedly dropped the ball
can’t you see we want back in
you should trust us again
we’ll re-write history my friend
please if only you don’t stand so tall
we’re sure you’ll forget and forgive just the same
if you imagine you never witnessed our fall
you do so hate to question these
disingenuous intentions
you’re soft and it’s
boring as hell
but Aldo won’t let them back in
he’ll put them in a pen of their
own disenchanted exile
