I barbarian

Tell me who my enemy is today

you devious political geniuses

though we have simple dreams

could you lead  us by the hands

into your newest versions of the promised land

Let us pray:

Dear mighty Father above

almighty and omni-potent and just,

lead our righteous and deserving society

into battle once more against the evil

now pounding upon our borders.That we might learn them

and expose these foreign hordes as barbarians

and impure ignorants of the truth.

Amen

Do not touch that remote control

we shall bring the war to your very living rooms

butter your popping corn,salt it well

snuggle up and tune in

for a news show with a modern Flavian twist
