A Wider Beam

  Night after night, images flicker on the tube
    Horrific images of ‘the enemy’ dying
      Dying ‘Agent-Orange’ deaths
         ~ Seems America can do no right…   

  Night after night, images darken the screen
    Palestinian women and children
      Starving, dying in droves obscene
        ~ Seems Israel can do no right… 

  Night after night, viewing the horror of war
    Provide no context for what came before

  No videos of Communist Vietnam’s brutality
    No memory of Israelis burned and butchered, October 7 fatalities… 

  Watching a steady stream of ‘enemy’ deaths
    Viewers become exhausted, out of breath 
 
  Gradually they identify with the foe
   Cheering on Ho, (Ho, Ho Chi Minh) 
   Jeering at Bibi and (Genocide) Joe  

  ‘Truth’ is only on the screen, or so it seems
    ~ History projects a wider beam
