Aiding the Enemy
claims are made by the
puppet masters of the empire
that Bradley Manning
“aided the enemy,”
as if this ominous enemy
lurks round every corner,
without a face,
without a sound,
waiting for the next chance to
strike---
for it would be so easy
to have all the citizens under the
spell,
for ignorance to always equal
strength &
for perpetual war to always lead to
perpetual peace,
yet one doesn’t have to leave their
own neighborhood,
to see just how well
our own empire’s orchestrators
“aid the enemy”
themselves---
need one look at the unemployment rate?
need one try to get proper universal health care?
need one try to go a month without a mass shooting,
a school shooting, or some hick running amok
with said cowboy guns,
without the NRA & those rallying with it,
telling us that there isn’t anything wrong?
need we remind ourselves
how Rome fell?
