My indifference surprised me
for I wish the pilots no harm
and have no sympathy for the murderous Iranians
whose drones destroyed Ukraine.
They created the bad karma that now afflicts them.
So why the indifference?
It was bound to come.
The Vietnam War killed 3.8 million Vietnamese
even though Vietnam was never a threat to the U.S.
Then came the My Lai Massacre
committed by angry soldiers
who blamed the Vietnamese
when the evil U.S. government was to blame.
It sent them to kill Vietnamese
who had never harmed Americans.
Then came the chemical weapon Agent Orange
sprayed on villages and fields poisoning everything.
And napalm dropped on children.
So evil ICE should not have been a revelation
that the moral rot was not just at the top.
It was within those who served the rot at the top.
Here is the lesson learned:
U.S. soldiers will follow evil orders.
Those down pilots would bomb Greenland if order to.
They would bomb Canada if ordered to.
They would bomb Minneapolis, Minnesota, if order to
by their deranged commander-in-chief.
They may be brave, but they are morally hollow men
who serve the morally hollow Mad King Donald Trump.
Where oh where
have all the good men gone?
Gone to graveyards
every one.
