Yes, we do not have another Iraq
“slam dunk”.
I care that people are dying.
I have heard nothing that
assures a better tomorrow.
Which enemy do we support?
The bad President, winner of a
nonelection,
Or the folks sent into Syria by
the other mass murderers?
To whom have we pledged justice?
Who has sanctified our perfect
wisdom?
Are the people of the Mideast a
shade closer to white
So that we should move beyond
our self-defense
Into conflicts that are between
brothers,
While showing indifference to
Black Africa?
Our footprints are everywhere,
And few lament our departure
When we tire of “saving” the natives.
