Cannons Shooting Out Daffodils
Yahya Abdul Rahman - June 29, 2006
Cannons shooting out daffodils
And the fresh scent of Febreze
Violins playing in the background
As five-star Generals, wearing t-shirts bearing Che Guevara's image, read lines from
Emerson, Whitman and Ginsburg
Children playing in the streets
Laughing hysterically over some twisted bathroom joke
Others too are hysterical but it is no laughing matter
We're about to launch another offensive
Daffodils and Febreze all around
Oh my, the sight and smell is so pleasant
How can I be angry with you now?
Let's have a party and celebrate life
Bring along your cannons and violins
I'll supply the daffodils and Febreze
The sweet aroma of peace is much more pleasant than the stench of war
