for the mercy

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

Go to your Christian bible, read the old testament commandment "Thou shalt not kill,"; then read the new testament "for the love of money is the root of ALL evil."

Then RUN, don't walk, to your nearest video store and rent Fahrenheit 9/11. And remove the insanity from OUR white house Nov. 2, 2004. It is required viewing for anyone who wears the name "American."

twist'd priorities
cling to lies like
ringlets of dead ivy
cleave to trunks
of rotting paradise

new world order
fills ocean depths
with brine from tears
of unborn orphans

stench of war
and ash-fill'd tombs
cake soldiers' brains
in capitalistic Eden

world peace pawn'd,
politics praised,
poverty increased,
pernicious potters
of darkness
