Maybe I’m bein’ bitter
and disrespectful,
but the dead have to count for somethun,
more than just gun-fire fodder
and political flag-waving pollywaddle,
they were sisters and brothers,
fathers and mothers,
that longed to love
and be loved,
they laughed and cried,
and then they died,
some would say
for nuthin’,
but that kinda pain
leaves a hard stain
in the long run,
that will taint the minds of men
with memories of dirty deeds done,
for them
there ain’t no forgettin’,
in due time,
in divine way,
may God damn the insanity
that made any war so.

Gen. McCrystal was the guy who signed-off on the cover-up of the friendly-fire death of Pat Tillman–I wouldn’t trust McCrystal farther than when his body recoils from three shots center-of-mass

Good job holding the line… O’Reilly always has his single, pre-established message, and attempts to use his guests to convey it. He never asks a real question, wanting to know the real answer. So it’s pretty much a waste of time talking to him, except for the name recognition for you. You did as well as any one could — given the agitprop purpose of the host.

Grave Markers
A grave question
marks the tombs of soldiers,
whose names are known,
but not the real purpose
for which they died,
can even crosses
make the sacrifices seem religious
to the survivors
who try to make sense
of the madness,
or console the soul
of love that cries
its grief of betrayal
in the exploits of man’s inhumanity to man,
in the identity of what is holy,
death in war
is just a vain pity,
for the bodies we bury
into the dark hole
of a black blood-stained history.
God Damn Insanity
