And now there is Bangdead
To how many sorry capitals
Will America bring street cred?

Exporting violence on film
Is the American way
And now make each Muslim land
Look like downtown L.A.?

So next to Tearup in Iran?
Or to Syria and Damnblastus?
How many dead will it take
For America to finally suss

That it becomes only more hated
As it creates ever more pain
And that the simplistic plans of some
Truly bring no gain

Small minds create great tragedy
We’ve seen it time after time
As arrogant fiery egos
Manipulate an ugly crime

How many more must die
In Iraq or elsewhere
Before we finally see the truth
And begin to TRULY care?

KABOOM AND BANGDEAD

Manipulate an ugly crime

How many more must die

As usual we don't see. History is repeating itself over and over again.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
