 THEZESPOKENWORDZ

On the Shores of Tripoli


They came in sailing on love boats and flying planes that dropped love bombs from the sky,
They told the local people not to worry; that they were there to help, with attack helicopters standing by.
They said, "We traveled a mighty distance to join in the fight, so that you didn't have to fight alone."
"We even took the liberty of imposing a few economic sanctions and a great big no fly zone."
"So please, come with us if you want to live; you may die if you don't do as you're told."
"And though at times our mission may seem a bit unclear, just remember humanitarianism is our goal."
With a false sense of hope and security the people accepted this offer that they couldn't refuse,
Not realizing the grave mistake that they‘d made when they agreed to play by NATO's rules.
