Ethics Drowned
When searching for answers, I'd never have thought
We'd plunge heads underwater of prisoners we've caught
Waterboarding, a behavior new to our culture
Instead of interrogation, we sadistically torture
Parameters of the Geneva Convention
Created with intent of humane protection
For civilian or soldier prisoners of war
From the kind of mistreatment, good men abhor
Our ethics and morals are frightfully compromised
When we sink to the level of all despots despised
If waterboarding continues to be the name of our game
I foresee for our country nothing but shame
