A Kind of Grieving:
McNamara's War,
Cheney's War, etcetera
a kind of grieving
Madonna
a reaction against
Modernism
the tabloid Media
the Great Society
watched the demonstrators
the best and the brightest
never to write
the history of
suicide by proxy Syndrome
put Evil in the headlines
the powerful
beneath the sugary piety
bodies counted
sorties flown
goin' to do some killin'
the demonization
is
Real
Free Will
cocky interventionism
and
crude revelations
in
uncovering memories
the cultural pollution
delaying his war
memoir
one generation got sold
Presidential counselors
a fight about who controls
an empty soulless empire
violence without
context
all those dominoes
got it wrong in
Viet Nam
the longing to believe
in Evil
horror grips us
the demonization
is
Real
Free Will
America's pretension
to
reaffirm the doublespeak
a reaction against
the cultural pollution
the Secretary of Defense
Sure it's hypocritical
Bush
faith in high tech
a thousand dead Americans
claim to feel God's
politically self-serving
Muzak
Death Metal
the most violent in history
not an Academic question
Voodoo Chile
the relationship of
Liberty
Homer's graphic descriptions
the counterculture
gotta Revolution
very free and easy
shocking
moral autonomy
the rise of Capitalism
Memories
uncovered
previously
unwitnessed
privatizing emotions
the powerful
acquiesce
to
nightmare's
better graphics
a reaction against
cost conscious realism
20 years as a
Manager
McNamara relieved
was that a moment?
when you questioned?
the influx of
Angel pins
the history of
crotch grabbing
the flower petals crushed
in the mire
This is a story
about Hope?
their path to this Paradise
one generation got sold
witnessing the cynicism
angry insults hurled
the history of
offerings
a deeper dimension
turmoil
Civilization
why should the rest
of us
pay?
the powerful
exploitation
reaction
against Modernism?
McNamara
Bush
Reagan Nixon
to war
Presidential
the absence of
the relationship
Liberty
the vacuum
chants
the hero drowns
his war memoir
mostly ignores their
powerful
contempt
to war
a kind of grieving
