Nationalism

When nationalism rears its ugly head,
unity and peace are killed stone dead.
Then brother nations who used to live as one,
have their petty differences siezed upon.
Similarities are brushed aside in hate,
by career politicians so innate.

Age old animosities are often sought,
to exacerbate the friction they have wrought.
And Superpowers who peddle “human rights,”
have a puppet government in their sights.
Who won’t resist their pressurised demand,
to set up military bases on their land.

Arms trade sales to new found puppets can be brisk,
they’ll need them now they’re on the Nato list.
Encirclement with bases near complete,
the Russians overjoyed at such a feat. ?
But as for peace as anyone can see,
the stage is set for world war number three..
