Death-Dealers | Eliza Segiet

When time
takes away the color from the green-leafed nature
– it will return.

When time
touches the human so heavily
– a memory will remain.

But when
the death-dealing people
take the breath away,
besides memories,
remain questions,

– Why?
– What for?

– In the name of what faith

does a Human kill a Human?

(Translated by Artur Komoter.)

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.
