CALL ME CRAZY

CALL ME CRAZY


Call me crazy, if you wish,
Or, call me imbecile.
Call me a dimwit or a
Delinquent juvenile.

But I can’t understand why
Occurred the Iraq war.
WMD there were none.
Strange the US’s ways are.

I do not know why those aged
Twelve and seventy years
Are held in Guantanamo
Amidst fetters and fears.

I just can’t appreciate
The Vietnam attack.
What was gained by the US?
It only gathered flack.

Yes, I am truly crazy.
My mind just refuses
To accept what it is told.
Its logic it uses.
