The Project For A New American Century

By Timothy N. Stelly, Sr.
Aug. 22, 2006

While UK is not a poetry site, I offer this rhythmic rant for perusal, and if one feel the need, rebuttal.


As early as nineteen ninety-two

anxious hawks red, white and blue

clandestinely planned a birth

to control the riches of mother earth

Their hearts had dreamt of such an hour

when there’d be but one superpower

and seeking oil riches handsome

required waging wars at random


The “terror threat” frightens the nation

the Government taps our conversations

circumventing legislation


An oil man—a figurehead

drew cronies far and near to bed

to again invade the desert sands

bombing Iraq, Afghanistan

A terror attack some say was feigned

helped prolong King George’s reign

all in the name of thwarting terror

In reality, greed’s forebearer


Bombs and bluster superfluous

peace and power incongruous

Rendon, Rice and Rumsfeld do us


Amassing military debt

battling fictional “nuclear threat”

from Korean Sea to Persian Gulf

Uncle Sam’s the big bad wolf

As civil war and terror reigns

and men’s ambitions leave bloodstains

The real story behind the lies:

Control the oil, thwart China’s rise


Hence the war machine is primed

and threats against the New York Times

conceal the administration’s crimes


The thirst for world rule is clear

symbolized by Cheney’s sneer

and Bush’s lies that filled the air:

“They got nukes”; (We found nothing there)

It’s all about world control

for vultures lacking morals, souls

they battle Koreans, Turks and Bedouins

which will lead us all to Armageddon


America never rights its wrong

so a river of blood flows deep and long

one thousand and six hundred furlongs…
