Outrage! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Outrage!

Rating: 5.0


let me see if i understand this...
you go to 'liberate' Vietnam,
at the cost of thousands of lives...
you invade Iraq, and their fake WMD's.
you go to battle in Afghanistan,
using terrorisn for an excuse...

but you cant and wont
lift a damn finger to help
the people of Tibet...
a nonviolent people,
being abused, ravaged, raped,
and killed by The Chinese government...
who's sleeping with who?

and who do you think you're fooling?

A very cutting and direct poem about useless wars - which as it turns out now is a big global business (guess who are the biggest CEO's) . You got it right though only part of it - the morality of war. When you get to the Profit & Loss Statement of Assets & Liabilities, that would really be a shocker. I'll wait for that poem!
