Cause


Civil rights was my cause.
I went to a few rallies
Took no part in any field work,
Cheered the marchers.

Vietnam was my cause.
Didn’t believe Johnson,
Didn’t believe Nixon, millions died.
Now every woman has a Vietnamese beautician.

Iraq was my cause.
More political lies,
Lots of political contracts.
Slogan: For God and profit.

Qitmo is my cause.
Nice bit of blind man’s bluff.
We don’t torture in US;  how droll.
Wrote to my Senators.

All those causes.
Someone did the heavy lifting.
Remember the thought from the movie “Titanic”?
Lets row back when it’s a little quieter.
