Poems to stop the coming war
(S. Patterson)
!.
if politicians took the Hippocratic
oath, to first do no
harm, we might be engaged
in a war on error
grounding the planes to make
it more difficult for them
to drop bombs on civilians
Ronald Dumsfield's state dinner wouldn't
feature "sumthin saudi seared" and
the news would stop altogether
!!. (Apocalyptic Doomsday Prophesy #725 or pardon all the corpses)
I told you so. You
greedy oil guzzling corporate cowboy
now you have your
remote desert country all sand
dust, sun, dried blood, oil
the faint smell of char and
magnesium. No one can find
a pulse to disapprove as
you drive a new sign
into the shore: "Bush Gardens"
