The Monster Told Us Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

The monster told us
waterboarding is not wrong
torture by calculated

drowning by degrees
to induce deliberate death by
drowning is not wrong.

The monster proudly told us
waterboarding is not wrong
because his lawyers told him so.

Satan told us
the apple was good
and so we ate

knowing full well
to declare
a war on terrorism

would promote
sales profit
for our personal

military related manufacture
to hell with consequences.
