Dinner or Destruction

Dinner or Destruction

 

Dinner to stave off hunger or destruction and you die,

there is no choice but both come from the same sky.

Parachutes glide down from above with a ready made dinner,

but be so very careful as you could be a gonner.

This is American Foreign Policy at its best,

but if you are the recipient it can be quite a test.

Do they know what they are about?

or do the crowds need to continue and shout?

Surely the time has come to sit down and talk,

perhaps dinner would be a good place to start.

Beware, they could keep you waiting a while,

as they hastily prepare an American made missile

You use poetry to make a devastating and uncomfortable point, Keith. Well done.

Keith,
the chickens are now coming home to roost on this matter; the slurs, libels and slander directed at Corbyn have now been demonstrated to be a pack of lies. A hypocritical hierarchy of racism being in place for years.

This quote from a black leading campaigner against racism, a respected author and academic, speaks volumes: “As a matter of principle, I cannot continue to work with the Anglican church…after the archbishop of Canterbury’s disgraceful endorsement of the chief rabbi’s unjust condemnation of Jeremy Corbyn and the entire Labour party.”

He wrote to the C of E’s national adviser on minority ethnic issues saying: “those who occupy houses clad with stained glass should perhaps be a trifle more careful when they join others in throwing stones”.
Here’s a link on this story:

Uilleam, I am with you. The so called Archbishop of Canterbury refused to meet with a Lutheran Pastor from Bethlehem because he had shared the same platform as Jeremy Corbyn. What brand of Christianity does he preach? What example does he set? I find this to be disgraceful. Has he been bought too? It would appear that most of the Establishment have been.
Thanks,
Keith

Oh, and he says make sure they wash hands and say grace first.

Thanks Keith.
The generosity of the "Civilised West" knows no bounds.

The Archbishop of Canterbury says it's all ok, as long as we sing "Onward Christian Soldiers", and the Lord's Prayer through our bullhorns, whilst we drop them 1 packed lunch per person for 1 day, so we can carry on bombing with a clear conscience. Tally-Ho chaps! Oh what a lovely war!
