Iraqi's Shiites burning ancient books
four thousand year old Assyrian pottery
cracked to shards

Civilization starts and ends here

Time is burning to a cinder and forgotten
McDonald's was always here
so were televangelists and GAP sweatshops

Hitch hiking on the Road to Damascus

Bob Hope is 100 and Kerouac is dead
What retired American general
will be annointed Viceroy of Syria?

Does he have to be blonde?
