Drone Strikes (The Reality) | Roy K. Austin

And this from ‘the land of the brave’
or so we are often told,
even the Bald Eagle swoops to be fed
or the stalking wolf who takes his chance on the fold,
but this monster, him at a glance, my friends
high on altitude and being smarter, takes none–
so do we buy it and are we sold
on this coward’s charter?
Come sit in his comfortable chair
and point his Joy–stick to murder
anyone who has life to lose,
known or unknown in the target area.
This is not the America I admired
in fact, this is not America at all
and that’s reality my friend.
