Unwanted Deeds Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

An aggressive innocence defended,
On lands peacekeepers claim...
Have been invaded to implement democracy.
Is not the opinion of those,
Who experience and see...
Their civilan population dwindling away,
And survivors maimed by such unwanted deeds.

People on these torn shores,
Have witnessed such cruelty.
Knowing they are not the benefactors,
Of the wargames and crimes...
That leave them heartbroken to grieve,
Their own loved ones and those of friends...
Suffering death and bleeding needlessly.
