tweedle dum

Bibi and Ahmadinejad allied
to stoke the politics of fear and hate
each kept the other's voters terrified
to preserve his own power in the state
George Orwell knew a threat from overseas
could unify a polity at home
and many would give up their liberties
to cower under the PoliceState's dome
but their new president's more sane and sweet
Rouhani says we should negotiate
among the nations, Persia wants a seat
not a pariah squatting at the gate
Bibi has over-stayed his office lease
security's a lie 'til we're at peace
