DAY #6

THE THREE WISE MEN

They held a stash of folding cash unseen on earth before

specks of buried untold gold riches waiting to unfold

See ya later doctor data said the odd bod to the nerd

and the three wise men brought gifts

Crystals quartz lithium gold incense and myrrh

those forgotten memories that can never be restored

Once shattered erased forever on any day of the week

but breaking glass sounds smashing at any time of year

It sounds so good and loud when an oven door explodes

they live in fear waiting for the next bomb to drop

Like the stone statues that they say they discovered

no matter how old they are those stones can't talk

The secrets of the ancient ones who buried them there

are as safe with us as a Jenga Tower or a house of cards

Specks of buried untold gold riches waiting to unfold

they held a stash of folding cash unseen on earth before

Ukraine five...

 

Andy's 150 word daily nonsense challenge

Here's mine:

A NEW FANGLED WORLD

We're all worse off than we were before

There ain't no winners in a Mickey Mouse war

It's snowing in Beijing while bombs fall like rain upon Ukraine

Be a good guy to Chou en Lai recall the chant

an' don't forget what Nixon said that Putin's a good guy too

The Siberian holiday camps are Khuilo's not Pontin's

His bullets and bombs masked by Luzhniki Stadium songs

If you're not for us he rants you're against the special operation

Even the Chinese have said it's a difficult situation

With many strands to be untangled yet

There's a new fangled world emerging out of this war

Jaw jaw what a bore if only lives weren't being lost

The Kremlin are playing chess and strategic games

and they don't give a toss they don't know the rules of cricket

They'll only know it's a sticky wicket when they're all caught out

Ukraine four...

 

WAR FOR WARS SAKE

The soldiers came in search of something

It wasn't the lie of the land it was the lie of the man

That sent them to that land that they found

The man who needs to be able to tell his country

That he has won the war that he doesn't call a war

If the West thinks that we would step back

It does not understand us said the man

Restoration compensation evacuation

Excavation natural selection primordial soup

Inter galactic missiles we've seen nothing yet

As one city after another goes up in smoke

The buildings and the people engulfed in flames

Witches wizards warlords making spells in secret

Sending their troops into sovereign countries

Bombarding buildings against all international laws

They don't call it war they call it a spiritual choice

It's not an invasion it's the Mad Hatters tea party crusade

Restoration compensation evacuation

Excavation natural selection primordial soup

Inter galactic missiles we've seen nothing yet

Raving as a Martian stranded on the Earth's Moon

It's War for wars sake and who can escape that

His conscripts came in search of something

It wasn't the lie of the land it was the lie of the man

That sent them to that land that they found

The man who needs to be able to tell his country

That he has won the war that he doesn't call a war

Ukraine three...

RUBBER BULLETS

More experts than a betting shop full of punters what time's the next bus from Basrah don't mention the war the mercenaries are already on board rubber bullets are in short supply the cooling towers are overheating what are you going to do when the four minute warning goes up run for your life or stay and fight rubber bullets are in short supply how many tanks does it take to flatten a city how many conscripts to lose their lives for a corrupt cause why die for pie in the sky ideology rubber bullets are in short supply as the ice and snow starts to defrost Russian half track vehicles sink in the mush their freezing cold tanks vulnerable to attack from the Ukraine vigilantes rubber bullets are in short supply collaborators conspiracy theorists fake news false eyelashes blinking like Blenkinsopp social media rubber bullets are in short supply

Ukraine two...

 

PROPAGANDA

Goosey Goosey juicy propaganda

If only this was just a war of words

Ivory Towers and Bric-a-brac claims

Helter skelter down to the bomb shelter

Going round in circles without any gains

One old lady with no one to help her

Trivialisation and who is to blame

Lying and cheating their way to oppress

Everyone knows the aggressor again

Devastation destruction recklessness

Your war crimes really don't go down too well

Tit for tat they answer back lie for lie

Lukashenko Putin partners from hell

The threat of chemical attack is nigh

If only this was just a war of words

Goosey Goosey juicy propaganda

Ukraine one...

 

EVEN THE GOOD GUYS

Bullets not bricks for Borodyanka

Petrol bomb factories they hope will stop tanks

Men women and children people like us

Even the good guys get shot or blown up

Put out Putin the Ukraine's don't want him

Warmongers don't care about who gets shot

The good not so good and innocent Joe's

Lie together in the same unmarked graves

Miles and miles from their worst expectations

In a violent and somewhat hostile land

Now that the globe has gone bonkers again

Cities in ruins towns raised to the ground

The landscape is different where are the trees

Mass graves in Ukraine and more will die yet

Petrol bomb factories they hope will stop tanks

Bullets not bricks for Borodyanka
