The Next 9-11

the next 9/11

just what will it take
to woo the american 
people into the proper 
amount of bloodlust 
which will propel them
to agree with whatever 
they are told by the
engineers of this 
empire, when it comes
to the inevitable
destruction of Iran’s
infrastructure, mass
murder of its people &
the subsequent
“rebuilding” of the
country so that it will be
an obedient slave to
the world’s policeman
& its little psychotic
brother, Israel?  

when the next 9/11 comes,
just where will it be?
will it be in your town?
have you already decided 
that “it must be those Muslims
who are always destroying
things?”  have you already
decided that the US should be
able to do with Iran
whatever it wants, because
no matter who actually 
carries out the attack,
IT WILL MOST CERTAINLY
HAVE TO BE THOSE
IRANIANS WHO DID IT?
will you be gung-ho & behind
the next Iraq-Afghanistanesque 
pummeling which will ensue?
will you be
SHOCKED & AWED
more than the last time?
will you possess the gall to
be sincerely outraged when 
more americans die because 
of the way OUR military is 
acting in OUR name?
will you think that all 
those americans that get
killed are truly “innocent?”
& will you wonder like
dubya,
“why, oh why, do they 
hate us?”
