the amerikan people,
themselves terribly
divided, affirmed
the rightness of
wrongfulness; affirmed
the acceptability of
torture; departed from
the bounds of global
law; suspended disbelief;
preempted judgment &
marched to criminal
war.
was it failed citizenship,
gratuitous indifference,
stalwart followership,
or native brutality that
sustained this
barbarity?
with the 2nd election
of George W. Bush
the fate of the matter was
sealed
in the eyes of islam &
confirmed by the unrestrained
assault on the people of
lebanon.
there will be no comforting
military victory;
no way back from the
devastating abyss;
no satisfying cerebral
resolution to this
nightmare turned ultimately
bad.
mosque blood. city blood.
memory blood. man blood.
woman blood. child blood.
holy blood.
slaughter & revenge.
an atrocity let loose
by amerikan
arrogance.
who can forgive
them the blood on their
hands?
