[bodytext] => The American regime of torture Goes on day after brutal day In Bagram and Guantanamo The sadists have their way And all the results of torture Just bring what they WANT to hear They simply press harder To escalate that fear Bloody American Nazis Working night and day Until they finally hear What they want them to say The bloody shame of Guantanamo Come dripping from the top From the venom of Bush and Rumsfeld The lying does not stop Coercion and Torture-Lite Beatings and threats of pain These ugly American Nazis Send the cycle round again Swept up in Afghanistan Or provided by a criminal gang Did you know they got $5,000 For each one they brought to hang? In the death-cells of Guantanamo Where they were sent to rot No one cared how they’d arrived Or whether guilty or not They were presumed to be bad And told they must confess Or they would get no lawyer To help in their distress So just to get a lawyer They had to admit to guilt Even if innocent Embroider lies like a quilt Put in solitary confinement In some rabbit hutch Manhandled half naked Two men made to clutch Head bowed and pushed down In manacles to walk Told to maintain silence No option there to talk Treated less than animals And no hope of a trial Kids as young as fifteen In a hell without a smile The American regime of torture Goes on day after brutal day In Bagram and Guantanamo The sadists have their way [comments] => 2 [counter] => 314 [topic] => 28 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )

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. ©
