United round the world protestors marched

 

Against Iraqi war, which need not be,

 

And brinkmanship that strives illogically

 

To war to keep the rockets of war unarched,

 

Some millions paced the earth, in doing, charged

 

The politicians responsibility

 

To marshal words but marshal peaceably

 

Foregoing bullets, leaving bombs uncharged.

 

But those who’d war disregard the millions count:

 

Some say the marchers were not near the size

 

Or, even so, the timid never mount

 

The peak of victory, why compromise?

 

The politicians ask, “Do I feel lucky?”

 

Well do ya, can you survive a war Iraqi?
