       The Insurgents

Surging in      like sea waves do
                    Not  a revolution      not belligerency

But an uprising  rising up
                                 Of focused nameless opposition

                                                     Keeps you very busy
                              Farewell,  I must leave, bye-bye

"The insurgency is sophisticated
               and stronger than anticipated."


                     "My name is Isis" says a small child
                                       "and that means Egyptian Goddess"

"No it means  stupid dirty  little girl"
       says the California Secretary of Education   	

         Constantly create the enemy
                 Constantly create the war
                    "I'm a war president,  I'm a war president"


Belligerent naked lady stalks
     Completely without leaves

                     On a cliff above the high tide surging
                            In a huge gathering flow

                                Can you beat THIS into submission?
