Dear Biafran,
That crusader of freedom is a strange weather
Tickling your nostrils with hate
You send your young to fight his father's war
He sends his young to take your father's throne

This is a script from political jobbers
Rehearsed in the theatre of doom
An exodus to the land of the rising sun
Is an apolyptical myth in despair

Ask the Libyans what came of the spring
And the Syrians fleeing across the Mediterranean
Freedom does not come when you wage a war
Flanked by ghosts in army fatigues

This piece is beautiful, but your last two lines is a very powerful quote. Bravo!

Whatever spice you're using, I need it.
It rocks my socks.
