The Lie

Post by Brian mclaughlin »

Young men dead and dismembered
for control of oil fields
the lie of Iraq

More youth dead and disabled
protecting the poppy fields
the lie of Afghanistan

We are sacrificing our soldiers
to ensure the freedom of their people
the lie of the nation
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. ~ Audre Lorde

As long as there is war we will have no freedom as it will keep us bound to our scarifice and walls. It is all of the nation states and religious warriors who are confined to this illness .Well said sir
