True Or False Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

True or false

If I tell you I saw flying hens dropping
egg bombs over the town scaring people witless
you would think this is false news.
Today I saw a BBC program when the government
in Syria tried to get rid of what is now called ISIS
it is true, only the application was made in 2016 before
people understood the nature of this war,
to use this now was propaganda aimed for political
reasons to undermine the sitting regime.
Not that I like dictators of any shape short or tall
they can in the interim, be better than pandemonium
that will break out if Syria collapses.
The western power keeps their protecting arms over
the "Rebels" this to prevent Syria from becoming
an independent state as Israel doesn`t want to see
Iranians near their borders.
