If they can’t raise the roof on this
high-priced rental,
it’s ain’t all
bad, brother.
You see, sister,
we can stop
Paying remote control soldiers to pretend
lives in Yemen,
Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
are worth less than video game victims
Paying Somali proxies to torture
questionable answers
out of top secret prisoners
Paying our own guards to harass
and embarrass
a man whose only crime was
showing us
the lies they still want us
to glassy-eyed believe.
It's not one of my most artistic efforts, but it's something I wanted to get off my chest.

Francis,
Its been long..And wars will carry on for longer...This reminds me of a dialogue from the movie JFK.."the organizing principle of any government is in its war policy"...and the war policy is the organizing principle of history....which is made today as we speak...and will always be littered with blood and letters dipped in unknown tears..it is pathetic..You can't be any less cruel than them who tell you it is right..and necessary..they rule..and sometimes we are happy for that....i guess...
Hi Manik,
It gets quite discouraging, especially that there are so many people who don't see it. Or maybe they see it, but they don't say anything, because they don't think it can change. I'm holding out hope it can.
