There may be an angle that works, but I'm not sure this is it

Perhaps an allegory....don't know how to stop when we start?

Cathartic...or neurotic?

I see this as the latter.
Lib drivel rehashed from MSNOW, the night before.
I can see Rachel Maddow staring up at the top of the TV screen right now like a carnival barker, in a blatantly staged attempt to look exasperated, trying to incite the emotions of people ignorant enough to believe the worst propagandist in media.

Iran is a very serious concern, but this song not only does not strike me as cathartic, the way it is written does not seem mature. The following quotes strike me as immature and overly reaching for metaphors and cliches.

A handshake written down in disappearing ink.
The Great Ceasefire
But nobody ceases fire

I talked for an hour the other day with an ex-marine, who served two tours in Afghanistan. He said that almost everything bad that he encountered had an origin in Iran. He was in favor of Trump disrupting them. He thinks that it will take at least until Christmas for something to resolve.
