Frozen
in front of the tube
I sat with my hands tied
I shivered and I cried
Powerless I watch with shame
the carnage in my name
Politicians oh so vile
tell us we're fighting for rights
and the media ever servile
report only sound bites
What sickens me most
the treachery and lies
the gloats and boasts
and all the wasted lives
Not a single government not a soul
to stand up for the people
In the dark of night
we destroy a land
we crush a people
In the dark of night
I cannot sleep
I only weep Anne B. Sereno '90
