Not One Drop Of Persion Blood

I wrote this poem when Bush was about to invade Iran. I majored in Military Intelligence, and was doing some consulting at the time with... well, that's confidential... but trust me, they were close... I am putting it up here now because poem seems all the more relevant with the Iranian protests in full swing.




NOT ONE DROP OF PERSIAN BLOOD

the blood of persian poets
has barely been washed off our hands

a few more nuclear reactors in the oil fields
or total war with our brothers in the middle east

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?



their prayers are for the manifest of life
not nukes

in the 80's
under the cloack of reagen's lies
the graceful Iranian doctor told me
you are a revolutionary
without a revolution

and what was true then
is true no more




and you know

you have to
assume
they great they
are lying

fearful they won't be forgiven
determined to get their way



they great they

distort information

in formation

in
formation
formation
in



peoples
lives
and lands
will burn napalm orange
again


the great twit cries wolf from the oval office?

gonna look that way
no matter what
now

w yr credibility is gone
baby gone

retire into the history books
with your esteemed father
your disgraced brother
that smile and your shreds of southern decency
or make your family an anocroynism forever
a curse on the lips of our children's children

smoke a peace pipe
get drunk
and laid
strangle a teddy bear

just DON'T
IGNITE THEM OIL FIELDS



CAN'T be stupid
this time

we will

all burn

this time
