Appeasement? (a poem)
Has appeasement ever worked? I can't recall.
It seems to always precede the fall
Of each good intention, every kindly thought
Of all the hand—ringing apologists fraught
With knee knocking neuroses
And hand trembling psychoses.
That it leads to war is an historical fact
But don't let that from the peace process distract.
Put down your arms, roll back your canon
Let's turn the world over to Kofi Annan.
