Men
have deceived us, the poor.
People
of good nature, pure hearts,
For
a greed that they lust more.
Distorted
are they, by ideals,
Not
in keeping with love.
Their
hearts have rotted away,
Morality
and truth, turned to dust.
Then
comes a challenging hero,
A
warrior taking on their might.
Someone
driven by true compassion,
To
show how unjustified these lies.
Only
lier's and supporters of deceit,
Would
see this passion a crime.
The
damage they have wrought,
Will
go on way beyond his time.
See
the two-faced give a smile,
To
belie the acts of violence.
Things
they ordered under-cover,
So
their greed would go unknown.
What
cowards are these leaders,
To
deny others' human rights.
When
they order soldiers, “Open fire!”
Thank
you Bradley Manning and Julian Assange,
For
bearing the mantle of hope.
To
show the world their trickery,
From
the darkness in which we grope.
Battle
on, not feared as they,
Your
goodliness shall shine on through.
The
day shall come for your victory,
When I was very young, I used to believe there was such as thing as justified war, and that the U.S. always fought for the right thing. Then I learned to look beneath the surface to see how our wars supported greedy business interests, racism, empire-building, etc. The information made public by these two men exposes new levels of the evils of our wars.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your new comment. And of course your continued comments on my posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that my poem made you get the point I wanted to make. I'm not against governance/administrative aspects of society. I just think more people need to say that they don't agree with being lied to and deceived in such horrible ways. These governments do things saying it is in our best interest and that clearly is not so. and they drag our good names into disrepute when they do this. Shame on them...
I intend to write a proper article about this asap, so please check back soon.
Take a hug away with you for your respectful comments.
Love, peace and light.
Peaceful Warrior.
