It's important to remember why all are listed here.
Each one in his own way threatened what we hold so dear.
Hiroshima sent the message loud and clear: it's not ALL human life that the U.S, holds dear.
From Indochina to East Timor,
Kissinger & other war criminals go unpunished, and what's more,
All the exits were sealed when the CIA entered the White House door.
Then Waco & OK City are used to frighten and dismay
The citizens of our republic into giving our rights away.
Finally, in our present quagmire,
As the people implore Bush W. to retire
America continues to show its "might,"
Sending the world into blight and fright
While citizens at home lose even more rights,
I believe it's terror that the U.S. incites!
In short the list is hard to rate
Each man mentioned has shown some hate
For freedom, human life, liberty~
Not much of a choice you have given me.
Beautiful. Very inspiring to those of us who have already lost friends close to our age, perhaps "before their time."
I especially enjoy the references to nature in the last stanza; we are all part of the same spirit, and in nature may find this to be true, and be able to commune.
Lovely! Looking forward to reading more. =)
