Voice of Reason: A collection of Haikus
Did God want them dead?
 We can’t even count the Iraqis
 Killed by soldiers hands
 
 The patriotic act 
 All freedoms taken away
 Why can he do this?
 
 War is considered
 Such a noble way to die
 Rather die than kill
 
 Seventeen years old
 He cannot cross the border
 How scary is he?
 
 Pitter patter down
 The blood of the innocent
 How many must die
 
 Will you support war?
 When you are told you have to
 What choice do you have?
 
 A thought was killed
 Rest in peace free thinking – but
 I won’t let you sleep
 
 A black van pulls up
 One more in Guantanamo 
 One more Arab gone
 
 Liberty – she sleeps
 Gone forever from our shores
 She will not awake
 
 He’s a terrorist
 Are you sure it’s not fiction?
 He’s just from Iraq
 
 The war on terror
 Why do we fight an idea?
 How to kill a thought
 
 
 
 Straight A’s and Muslim
 God has a different name?
 So what’s wrong with that?
 
 Is freedom of speech
 Now so un-American
 That we cannot think?
 
 Quitters never win
 And the U.S. never quits
 But they’ll never win
 
 She was a gift from 
 The French who admired our ways
 We should return it
 
 A boy of fifteen 
 Imprisoned and tortured – but
 We are the good guys
 
 Bullet hits a body
 Another life was lost here
 Who could he have been?
 
 Iraq has weapons
 Of mass destruction! Whoops! But
 They’re bad anyway
 
 On nine eleven
 Many people died. So 
 Kill more to fix it?
