with this rejection Muhammad will be free to write a new set of sonnets
as he moves through the dust and heat, waking each martyr from his bed
we should have offered caveats instead of armies that are not allowed to enforce security
but did I really expect to see democracy hanging around these statesmen's hubris
I guess the illusion was easy to add to my thoughts like a noose
24/7 is hard to ignore when it beckons, it has no modesty
in securing rogues, and no dignity when recording death
do you have a shroud for this grief that can be worn when the penance is demanded
there will be no amnesty then for that implosion that threatens us with new pain
this is not a benchmark, it is a breach I see no hopes of overcoming
when I look at the faces of families who will now lack the continuity they had expected
at 2,500 dead, whether proud or resistant, enough has been leached to fill a city
Mr. Snow your compassion is missing to lump this next one to, as all of the rest
skeletons to be limed down, how can you stand there straight and say
it is all for the greater good when the contributions continue to be paid
subscriptions to this war, our new circus forum cemented with oil and greed
I've had enough bodies wrapped in a flag, poured into the ground, to be memorialized
with two minutes airtime and some boots in the sand
you are only encouraging another Saladin to arise....
from June 15 2006 ...a reaction to the Senate's refusal to create an endline to the involvement in Iraq....
