I Shall Weep Tears For Them

when your son
or daughter
lines up to enlist

join the military
to fight in foreign
wars America’s

Muslim Wars
in target countries
I will not judge

all suffering death pain
inflicted on sovereign
soil democracy invades

when their sons daughters
are killed as wars drone on
I shall weep tears for them

when your sons daughters
are killed as foreign invaders
I shall weep tears for them

I cannot judge right
I cannot judge wrong
I cannot stomach lies

politics is guilty
of invasion crimes
against humanity

Afghanistan Iraq invasions
Pakistan incursions drone attacks
Libya sorties rebel alliances

I cry for their children
I cry for your children
blood is on so many hands

as innocence is bath drowned
in aircraft carriers of steam blood
pornography elite power rapes
