TV Fox “24” makes torture sound
\nlike the feel of masturbation ending.
\nWant the sound of torture break a leg
\nthen move the broken leg without support.
\nThe ethicist goes to sleep at night smirking
\nbelieving he has rationalized torture
\nbecause the person being tortured
\nhas a human moral duty
\nto save the lives of his enemy
\nby betraying his friends.<\/p>\n
What would the ethicist deem most evil
\nthe violent death of 3,000 or
\nthe violent death of 650,000 plus and rising?<\/p>\n
Hear the clamor over building 18 Walter Reed
\nthen see the size of beds in hospitals in Iraq
\nsee they are no wider than a gurney rowed
\nupon row and growing lacks of medical supplies.<\/p>\n
The lowly cockroach, whose species will survive
\nthe deadliest nuclear attack – the “civilized”
\nshudder at the sight of even one,
\nMeanwhile back in the third world they eat them
\nfor nourishment to the body.<\/p>\n
A 16 year old innocent boy died 5 years ago today
\nin this rural New Mexico town
\nand thousands in their silent grief
\ncreated a wave in spirit waters
\nimagine the tsunami created with Shock and Awe
\nthen lift your feet
\nthe in breath is coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
