Alas, Yankee foreign adventurism is but
Attested folly oblivious to thee;
All chance, misdirection which thou
Are blinded, unable to see;
All discord, strife not comprehended;
All damned ego universally reprimanded.
And spite of pride, in erring hubris’ spite,
A one truth is clear that cannot be denied:
America the Numero Uno is in decline.
And if Democracy was ever her export,
Afghanistan now be darned to go to pot.
