Liberal

as a liberal
and anti-war
I am offended
Iraq!=Hiroshima

I understand that the issue at hand
are the tips of the bullets
sharpened with an extra bit of radioactive venom
and that as a sane individual
the war in which we've thrown
down our staff to eat the snakes of our enemies
is stupid and futile

BUT

as a liberal
I pride myself on our side's
objectivity
free from the hyperbolic
gesticulating of the right
they have Fox News
we have NPR
they have Ann Coulter
we have Jon Stewart

but I suppose in our time,
we can't resist the sickly light
of inflated propaganda
