Are you angry enough yet?
Dead women paraded naked
Just collateral?
Statistical casualties?
Riddle me this,
Riddle me that
Where should
my outrage
my outcry
be directed?
People are important
Leaders are impotent
Playing their role
We burden the toll
Riddle me this,
Riddle me that
Where should
my silent moment
my hushed memorial
Be directed?
Are you feeling lost yet?
Dead children
Just mathematical?
Statutory victims?
As long as
the powerful
the rich
the important
the good?
are alive and well
with lies to sell
All is good
All is great
Complaints are rude
Compliance, a vital trait
Are you angry enough yet?
Are you?
