SYRIA’S BUSINESS

It is time to get serious
Let’s get down to business
Let us reconfigure history
Dress it up as télémontage

No judgement or interference
Watching events judge themselves
You could do with a hand, you say
Don’t worry, there’s no ‘arm in it, well

Apart from the armaments and, er
The backroom boys, the backhanders
The backstabbers, the grandstanding
The dirty and deadly oiliness of it all

It is time to get serious
Let’s get down to business
Let us unreconfigure history
And dress it up as poetry
