birth of disbelief

birth of disbelief

and in the horror of
a crime against humanity
in the ashes of
multinational slaughter
the pains of labour
cry out from
the support, training and funding
the birth of disbelief
screams with the ghosts of the victims
untold millions
killed in
Korea
Cambodia
Vietnam
Lebanon
Palestine
Yugoslavia
Somalia
Haiti
El Salvador
Nicaragua
Panama
Dominican Republic
…
the terrorists and their supporters declared war
on the United States, and war is what they got
