What Would Plato say about N.A.T.O?

Plato: copy of portrait bust by Silanion

                                                                                     
What would Plato say about N.A.T.O?
World War III's, their political hot potato
Are N.A.T.O's actions not guided by justice?
And you fault the poets for the broken compass?

Ah, but this is not Kallipolis
Don't look to capitalist neo-cons, to make you free
As you're wont to do with leaders of charlatan fame
Corporate news media and entertainment, one in the same

Take a look at the ISIS crisis
The West must address its mess,

At the behest, of her highness.
You can't afford to be so naive
Trickery comes from ones, with means up their sleeve!

Don't make love, make war!
Today we are subjects, individuals no more          
If we see invaders attacking the Western shore
We'll know for sure, political parties are rotten to the core              
Like 911, when the G.O.P. let them in!
When "hearts and minds" cower, they're easy to win

What would Plato say today of our youth?
What was your life worth if it didn't stand for truth?
To not stand up for equality, justice and freedom for all
Means you traded it for privilege and comfort before the fall!

Don't think like our parents
And offer undying loyalty and political adherence
Don't think your working will make your kid's life easy
If they're politically disengaged, they're prey for the sleazy

Social justice in Canada, had capsized
Like the search for Franklin, Conservatives franchised
Money is easy to find, for funding politics and war
Like Franklin, it goes missing, if it's for, uplifting the poor

Like Alibaba and Jack Ma's forty thieves
Stolen labor feeds, insatiable Western greed
Justified by the ascension of Chinese middle class speed
Conveniently forgotten, the Chinese wage slave's need
Serfdom the Chinese Communist Party helped make
In the wake, of Western profits they all rake!

What would Plato say about plans of N.A.T.O's?
Splat they go, like a bad rating on Rotten Tomatoes
Russia could have been an ally against ISIL
But Cold War's more profitable in the Western news cycle

Don't expect the truth to be trending on your Twitter feed
N.AT.O demand 2% military spending, located in their screed
Conservative cap in hand, makes the Canadian public purse bleed
Wasn't big government spending a talking point they were to heed?

 portals together handled
 1.1 trillion yuan ($170 billion)

competitors eBay

combined."[3]
