There is a definite clear cut line,
Where one can tell good from evil,
Right from wrong, Black from white,
And it is clear that, A term like,
"a few bad apples",
Is not a good enough reason,
To excuse the double standard of people,
Who choose to be hypocrites,
As the death of civilians,
May easily be termed as "casualty",
And bully the world with their "ideals",
To grant freedom and democracy,
A notion that once existed,
In the minds of the world,
Yet, platonically far fetched today,
And the disillusionment is saddening,
Where a nation, was once enviable,
A heroe in the world's eyes,
With respect for every individual,
Now Stands to be condemned,
In the bloody vigour to rule all,
Especially if these photographs,
Were only,
The tip of the iceberg!
Whatever happened to morality?
Whatever happened to respect?
Whatever happened to the American Dream?
Whatever happened to the land of freedom and democracy?
Whatever happened to Good conquering all?

Poem has rather nice perspective, but loses its way somewhere....Nice flow though, and I shouldn't say though...It is a wonderful poem if you look from another side...It calls from readers to think on their own perspectives...
