ARE YOU TOO FAR GONE? 3
A Series of Poems
(Written on 9 April 2002)
Ceaseless, unprecedented massacres of untold thousands
Of innocent human beings by the terrorist state of Israel
Go on and on in Palestine and elsewhere without mercy
Which the United States government opened the door to
Through instituting the so-called "War Against Terrorism"
"Americans" are themselves committing acts of terrorism
By their own intolerable slaughter of millions of innocents
In the names of professed "democracy", "freedom" and "justice"
That should make us all want to throw up over and over again
For their endless murders of so many precious little babies
In the meantime, instead of carrying out protest without end
Against these gross atrocities and violations of human rights
We continually go to social gatherings to be entertained
And bow our heads in silence for the "American" victims
Pretending that we're "better" than other people worldwide
Ask yourselves, how can we stop crying for all the suffering?
How can we allow any of this unconscionable and inexcusable
Slaughter to continue, to escalate, and to go on and on and on
Without raising our "free" voices in alarm, activism and Love
Against all of the injustice, oppression and tyranny everywhere?
Or are you too far gone
To do what is right?
