Helicopter Logic
Over the past two weeks
I've seen people held against their will
heard their desperate cries to be rescued
watched them be shut up-beaten up- blown up
I've watched them plummet from the undercarriage of a rescue plane..
and just today, i watched two men-ropes around necks
dangling lifeless below the bottom of a helicopter
Over the past two weeks
i saw millions of people
go from taking small sips of freedom
for the past twenty Years
to gulping down terror by the bucket full...
but the most disturbing thing
is that despite all the heartache- humiliation-
misery rape and death..
there is still one man on this planet
who thinks that the whole damn thing was a smashing success...
and he can't remember why.
