Lies, Lies And Lies

Nation is fed with complete package
Pack of lies with skilled persons to manage
Second by second information on front move
A nation was about to die and dictator removed

Yes it is story of unified Iraq
Ruled by dictator but peaceful to talk
No unrest, no troubles and happy country
All vultures pry on hunt and ready

Unilateral embargo with no flying zone
Happy days of prosperity and peace already gone
Life made difficult for civilians to live
A nuclear threat who will believe?

Dictators may be called cruel and barbarous
But threats and treachery is on and continuous
Millions died for the want of food and medicine
Morality and teachings were all on decline

'Your existence is at risk' head of the nation addressed
'Your children are at nuclear risk' commander warned
'Impose the sanction and bring him to knees' demon cried
People gave sanction to no truth and nation completely lied

How can you police whole world?
How can you win over the people and bring under fold?
Why nation is kept under dark and facts not told?
The theory was propagated and freely sold

Poor nations are suffering and so the entire universe
Millions die hungry and suffer agony and pain with tears
Who will wipe their tears and offer the food?
The battle is won but not delivered any good

You fight thousand wars
Don't take it away from frontiers
It brings no peace but only misery
It is not the wish o almighty

Fear from those consequences
You can sight thousand such incidences
Nations are subdued despite given promises
What a heavy cost we are compelled to pay with prices?
