September oh September

you unwelcome visitor

you’ve brought so many tragedies over the years

Wars and rumors of wars

I hope you would stay far away – over there

Why do you still stalk and threaten – oh september

you continue to loom

over mankind’s dwelling with gloom

Why do you continue to taunt our home

burden the nations with your peril

And gas the children of earth

With your deadly vesicant and sulfur mustard

This time around I refuse your war – oh September

the blasts of war tanks

another Vietnam

the horrors of Pearl Harbor

a possible Syria

cause I still remember your Holocaust

your September Hurricanes

your nine eleven

but I rather give diplomacy a chance

so, thanks

but no thanks

oh unwelcome visitor

for another September war
