If Iran Develops the Bomb...

A freighter of Panamanian registry,
Originating in the Middle East,
Docks in the Port of New York City
And while inspectors wait
To examine each crate,
An atomic explosion
With a powerful clout
Shakes the ground
And a mushroom cloud
Is heaven-bound
And Manhattan is gone,
Turned to glass, dust and stone
And millions die,
Burned, and evaporated
Right into the sky
And a radioactive cloud
Covers the City
And millions succumb later
To an enemy without pity,
While Iran will claim
North Korea or Sunnite
Terrorists are to blame
And other Western cities
Will suffer the same fate,
So, let us act now
Before it's too late!
