Mr. President

Just some thoughts on pointless wars.

Mr. President,

How many of our sons and daughters

died today

for your “war on terror”?

Don’t you know he terror isn’t over there?

It’s in our midst.

Land of the free?

Home of the brave? 

I don’t think so.

Not when our freedom costs so much

Is a life saved worth the

thousands lost?

Is proving your power worth

all this?

I don’t think so.

The weapons of mass destruction aren’t in

Iraq or Iran or f*****g Afghanistan.

The weapons of mass destruction are in our hearts.

Seeds planted by skewed laws and

paranoia.

Mr. President,

It wasn’t your daughter killed

or your cousin deployed

and you won’t wake up next to someone

screaming with PTSD induced night terrors.

And you still think the terrorists aren’t among us?

I don’t think so.
