A poltical statement: What happens when no one pays attention?

The military industrial complex
President Eisenhower warned
America about
Needs enemies.

Ferocious Factories
Making smart bombs,
Cruise missiles;
High tech weapons systems linked to satellites
In need of targets
Keep fat bank accounts growing
While the population wears headsets
Listening to endless iPods

See no evil
Hear no evil
Touch no evil
But
Fail at thinking no evil

American gods!
War becomes like
Football,
Baseball;
Basketball,
Another source of entertainment.

Bush’s Evil Three
Threaten America at every turn.

North Korea - a third rate power
With a big mouth and
Millions of starving people;
A handful of rockets
Make it the
Perfect nuclear threat in place.

Stupid Iran,
Another big mouth,
With oil
And a nuclear treat hovering.

Let’s beat the war drums
Like we did in Vietnam and Iraq.

What nation has the most nuclear warheads
Inside nuclear powered submarines
And underground silos capable of
Reaching any spot on the globe in a half hour?

What nation has enough nukes
To destroy the earth one hundred times?

Isn’t once enough?

China is seen as a threat with its one party
Communist government
And fifty nuclear tipped missiles.
The right sees Communists as Godless and evil.
The left sees Communists as Godless and evil.
The Western media
Always coveting with the powers
That control the politically correct dialogue
Loves to bad mouth this nation
And sees it as Godless and evil.

Christians claim to be the
Fastest growing religion in China,
Up to a hundred million strong
And counting.

The latest bestsellers in China are
Confucius and Buddhism.

Huh?

Who built the Great Wall to keep people out
But failed when the West
Came knocking with cannons and bombs?

Where is the devil’s playground?

This patriot loves
The nation our ‘founding fathers’ created.
Where have 'they' gone?

Lloyd, I forget which comic said it, but has become a sort
of creed of mine: Live and let live, especially live.
That's why I'm hoping for a significant change in the
upcoming presidential election. -gene.

In the End: Apocalyptic Poetry by Debra Kraft

In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into
