Genocide

By Tom Karlson

no war is the good war
not Afghanistan
not Iraq
Syria
not Yemen
or Palestine
genocide

shock and awe and fire and fury,
genocide’s alias
900 bases, genocide’s cancer
blockade and embargo, genocide’s handmaiden
the president’s pentagon, genocide’s fist
the president, genocide’s mouth
