[Newspoetry] Terrorisms

[CFPoems]

Terrorism is as Terrorism does
But "The terrorists are" and "the terrorist was…"
Civilian terror or State terror
Nationalistic zeal or Imperial error? 
If forced to choose, preferred now or later
>From nationalists or the more common experience
>From Terrifying armies full of Terrorist Haters
With their Terrorizing missiles that leave Terrifying Tumors
And their Terrifying Tanks that spur Terrorizing rumors
While "The Terrorists are…" and "The Terrorist is…"
In a mobile cave on dialysis!
Like the Phantom, always present yet rarely seen
Flying on his magic carpet with his dialysis machine - 
He’s a mystical, magical Terrorist with a disappearing cave 
Stealing Freedom, Hoarding Freedom for a rainy day!
The more absurd the lie is...the more Terrifying
And the Oscar goes to the President’s son
For his shameless grin and his brilliant lying.
Nationalistic zeal or Imperial error
Civilian, Mystic or State terror?

Brilliant lying at the State of the Union Iraq Speech, 2/05
