Afgani Chowkar-Karez Collateral Damage Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Flashpoint Afghanistan
October 2001 U.S. gunships
machine-gunned cannoned

target remote farming village
Chowkar-Karez collateral
damage killing an estimated

93 civilians over successive days
a Pentagon official was moved
to respond we quote “the people

there are dead because we wanted
them dead”. U.S. Defense Secretary
humanitarian not Donald Rumsfeld

briefly commented “I cannot deal
with that particular village”.
Thus we scan rare cop out guide

on the World’s only Superpower;
to learn the first man to speak out
speaks of other powers, hints hidden

powers, supernatural forces, yes
it is true, there are dark forces
afoot in the world; which do not

want peace, which do not want
order in the Middle East, international
super-national Illuminati agendas.
