Don't Know What Destroyer
I saw you take out a line of Iraqi citizens --
mostly women & old men --
with a dumb sideways hand chop.
doesn't matter:
YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN THEM.
and what you don't believe in
don't exist. "crying won't help,"
assuring.
"be happy that you're an American."
("and anyway
you won't feel the bullet.")
