sometimes the answer
isn't "strike now!" or "soon" - but
not to strike at all.
we are still at war
why can't i remember when
we were still at peace?
i don't fear iran -
though i fear the ones who would
have me fear iran.
Cause
Tomorrow's cause
does not rely
on yesterday's laws
who has the time
for idle pause?
we must decide
with every fear
to spread each lie
with utmost care
without surprise
if the china breaks
it wasn't ours
one simply waits
to drug the guards
until they're wide awake.

Blessings
The fortunate allow
a penny's worth
in solemn vow
to the wet nurse -
a modern slave
to raise the royalty
on minimum wage
with utmost loyalty.
The slight distaste
of her ancestry
affords the mistake
of ignoring her poverty.
