PEACE NEVER HAD A CHANCE - a poem
PEACE NEVER HAD
A CHANCE
A “lasting
peace,” resulting in
Economic collapse
“Peace for our time.”
Chamberlin’s
pledge
The precursor
to war
“Korea is the
place,”
Our fight to
stop communism
7/27/53—stalemate
“America First,”
Kicked off the
arms race
Mutual assured destruction
“Peace with
Honor,”
3/29/73 we say
farewell
4/30/75 Saigon fell
“Axis of Evil” and “WMDs,”
Forces of
Freedom - Liberating the people
Making the oil
safe
We thought to
change the world
With our
slogans, money, and force of arms
Did it change,
or did we?
