Of Course

 

Of course we believe

The invasion of Iraq

Was justified,

Of course we believe

That Guantánamo Bay

Was legal, above board

With no torture and the

Geneva Convention

Its guiding light,

Of course we believe

That Omar Khadr

The child soldier

Really wasn’t,

Of course we’re

Moving fast with

Little time to pay

Attention or to remember,

The economies of

The world are

Confused in their

Shell game and

Of course we don’t

Realize that we’re

Like frogs in

Warm water

With temperature rising.
