I killed
your mother
and father

trashed
your home
soiled your garden
tortured your brother
raped your sister

it was all done
for my good

you are a stage
from which
I take leave

the art of following 2

February 28, 2007

Begin
by descending
into
a deep
shaft
of required thinking.

With each
downward
step
move further
from the truth.

Continue
down
down
to where
a flashlight
is called the sunlight.

There
you will stay
to follow
a manufactured god.

independence is something
which happens to countries,
loyalty is something
which happens to us

The United States
ought to be about
dialogue and diplomacy
solutions and life –

not attack and torture,
rendition and rape.

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I’d tear this building down.
