Poem Three Thousand

Three Thousand
(Dedicated to George W. Bush)

The cause was a lie.
Three thousand dead.
As loved ones will cry.
Three thousand dead.
Qaeda connected?
Three thousand dead.
Fear resurrected.
Three thousand dead.
Mission diverted.
Three thousand dead.
Purpose perverted.
Three thousand dead.
Threats were illusion.
Three thousand dead.
Neo-collusion.
Three thousand dead.
Terror’s now breeding.
Three thousand dead.
Absence of leading.
Three thousand dead.
A country on fire.
Three thousand dead.
Behold, a quagmire!
Three thousand dead.
Damage unending.
Three thousand dead.
Numbers ascending ...

Thousands more dead?
