home Poem List next poem No Weapons Sought Were Found We fought our way thru one entire nation Destroying what hardware of resistance Folly's contentious implementation Sought to present as willful insistance With small losses by killing or dying Precision unexpected by both sides Led so quickly to questions of lying Within our system where treason hides For surely we can't hope to simply find Treason limited to figures at the top Who control the collective social mind Through decisions which the body can't stop Thus our nation must now inspect its soul To map out what contra-thought processes Embedded this anti-citizen troll In our system that led to excesses Of un-necessary expenditure Seeking weapons that clearly don't exist Now we must hunt the presence of that creature Causing wide systemic fraud to persist Before we destroy another people Controlling a wide body politic Let's lift cloaks from each religious steeple Within our country as war's final trick (c)ERA 07:15 AM 4/18/03
