Military Firework
He said the undiplomatic cost
to all of us freedom celebrators,
to firstborn sons and daughters,
to last born future children,
would be far less
than its liberating value.
Value for and against whom?
Value for and against what healthy purpose?
Value for and against which wealthy constituents?
He couldn't say,
or wouldn't,
or shouldn't
Because he couldn't listen
and wouldn't savor
democratic peace.
