When all the countries of the world are vying for the stage
The bombs dropping down, fighting old vs new age
When is the crux, the call to action
The declaration that war's here, and not an over-reaction
East or West, their armies converging in one zone
The people pushed out and the world watching stoned
Unable to declare, not for an inactive congress
But no nation to wage against, we're stumped for progress
A network they call it, this underlying terror
Inspiring the actions of radical failures
The overwhelming sensation, international pain
pushed by a media that has everything to gain
capitalizing on the sorrow and tears of the nation
Running ad after ad while condeming indignation
At what point does the mantle come down from the shelf?
When anger overflows, and people fight at inconvenience to oneself
When starvation is used? a war crime without a war
What is the response, when can one help the poor?
