Drinking Liberally Shot of Truth
Syriasly?
Submitted by Justin Krebs on Thu, 08/29/2013 - 7:34am.
Now that we're finally untangling ourselves
from quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan,
"serious people" on both sides of the aisle call for
a new open-ended Middle East military incursion.
At home, we hear about austerity and cuts,
yet we're considering a blank check
to send missiles half a world away.
We can't address climate change or immigration,
can't vote on gun legislation or jobs bills,
but we can find the time to start a bombing campaign
that most Americans don't really understand.
Fifty year after the inspiration of "I have a dream,"
is our greatest dream really another attack?
Is war all we can be serious about as a country?
There are issues we need to tackle seriously.
Do we need to prioritize tackling Syria? Syriasly?
Share your thoughts, memories and your dreams
as we share a drink and democratic discourse
at you local progressive social club.
