Into Hades Syria descends
American Cerberus come
As English hands are wringing
Lamenting something must be done
More blood will spill, more people die
For humanitarian needs
Or if you think quite deeply
Mineral rights and deeds
Russian bifurcation
More proof for us to ponder
Who is it arms the madmen
Who is it stands to conquer
Quavering French voices also sound
Not about who stays alive
More who gets to pick the carcass
When Syria has bled and died
Islamic fundamentalists
Will slyly watch and wait
Jurisprudence in abeyance
Jihad in abate
So the world will soon stop spinning
Around the Middle East
As vultures are swiftly swooping
On to an Islamic feast
