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"
