Triangular bandage

Over the shoulder of Turkey

down through the Caspian Sea,

South across Muscat and Aden

Westward toward Djibouti...

Then fold through the Red Sea to Cairo

across Sinai where Moses did lead,

then on to the back gates of Rafah

where Nomads eternally bleed...

Tie the knot off in Tehran

strangle the land till it's dry,

leave there, what's then left of Man

that all those who follow, know why.

As Elvis C once framed it "Is it worth It?"
