"What's Changed?"

 
“Best turn it into a bigger war…I’m afraid you really ought to send more troops to the South…Don’t be afraid of U.S. intervention, at most it’s no worse than having another Korean War. The Chinese army is prepared, and if America takes the risk of attacking North Vietnam, the Chinese army will march in at once. Our troops want a war now.” [1]
-- Mao speaking to the North Vietnamese in 1964
 
“What’s Changed?”

10/7/13
 
Fifty years ago ready for war
forty years ago ready for war
thirty years ago ready for war
twenty years ago ready for war
ten years ago ready for war
now they’ve mostly won the war
learning that most nations quit
sell to the highest bidder quick
take their troops and go home;
 
China still is ready to go to war
they’ve millions of troops armed
and so far nowhere to engage
tired of killing intellectuals most
students and local villagers
without any women to marry
an economy which need war
seeking anyone now to fight
Japan is one for the centuries;
 
Targeting new horizons today
dissimilar in no ways to history
raw materials and more land
claiming without peril another’s
allowing laughter to the world
threatening without a red line
supplying war materials to all
paving the way for total chaos
having purchased the right;
 
What’s changed today known
money and arms to provide
holding the national debt of many
neutering the great nations
invoking socialistic communism
playing as the puppeteer alone
with impunity for war prepared
having seduced MSM in toto’
today China has beguiled all!
