Sonnet 18
Shall we observe you in a prying way?
Thou art more deceptive and transparent:
As rebels jounce with NATO in the fray,
And summer's war will further reveal your face:
Fraudulently, “the eye of heaven shines,”
Certainly, this escape, unproductive;
And as the lies and bombs intensify,
America’s hegemony locked in;
But thy eternal brute force shall not fade
Nor will the acquisition of resources;
Nor shall the debt owed to China be paid,
When in the face of truth most minds doth slowest:
So long as privileged western eyes don’t see,
So long lives this and perpetuates thee.
(c)The United States
