Poem
concerning Iran (a brief letter to the american voter) dear miss or mister still-believing-in-the-“dream”--- which face that you see being displayed on your screens, do you think will get us into a war with Iran first? will it be mr. hope & change, whose translucent slogans were transparent to many of us, even prior to his ascendance, whose own hands became bloodied/dirtied on the way up, and who now spends his time twisting on the marionette stage to the hand motions of the moneyed interests who fueled his first campaign & who have fueled his present one? as the manipulators of mr. hope & change make him continue to strangle Iran with sanctions, pull funding from Palestine & pump more & more money into militarized & already nuclear Israel, will the region get any more peaceful? will all the countries who showed their dissent with the Arab Spring then become the little slaves that the empire wants them to be under mr. hope & change, further gearing up hatred, encouraging the next 9/11 on US soil as a direct result? hmmm. will it be mr. romney, mr. santorum, mr. gingrich or mr. perry, whose combined complete lack of concern for the citizen of the empire & wanton militancy will sacrifice everything to crush the last stronghold left in the region (who refuses to bend over the table for america so that it can install another Shah & rape it of its oil) in the name of the war on “Islamic Fundamentalism,” whose characteristics seem all too familiar if you are watching the whole thing happen from a television in the “Evil Empire?” hmmm. will these iron-fisted capitalists who make fun of the unrest within their own country by blaming the unemployed for the occupation of wall st. etc., march into Iran (like the christian caped crusaders that ya know they see themselves as---finally getting to convert the infidels after all these years, with the big american military *****) like they marched into Iraq & they marched into Afghanistan only a few years ago, to incinerate the country & start building permanent bases there with money that could have been spent on universal healthcare for americans, better education for american children, new employment opportunities through making america green & paying off our own debt? how many Iranian citizens are going to die because of the american empire’s hegemony & hubris? hmmm.
