The Ordeal of Supremacy I am concerned about this world and especially the way the "super power" handles

its affairs. Here is a humble trickle of my thoughts: Don't smoke! A child may be hurt. Don't drive! The ozone is burnt Don't spray! Environment is weak Don't eat fat! Your health will be bleak. But hooray to the toys of war To the high tech, higher and more They explode in distant lands. Fly the Stealth, copters and tanks. They do not produce pollution No! they deliver good solution They must be tested on the poor We are free, sweet and cool. Even if equal to a nuke a day Don't make pollution or hunger, we say Too bad if there is damage to lives We also lost some; No way we jive O' Dear America! What went wrong? To freedom and liberty You sung the song For democracy you fought the war For human rights you called over all Now you are rich strong and might But stay lonely at a camp every night Supremacy has its own ordeal To practice love, care and heal Spread and do goodwill deeds Everyone would protect your heels If you feel high, mighty and tough There is the Strongest, who taught us love Tell me where are the Pharaohs and Caesars Or the mightiest of the creatures They are gone Under the earthly might Only the Divine Stays honoured and bright A.
