Dumb

Are we to be dumb now?
At this moment?
A mad mans son has declared
Blood will flow tomorrow.

I saw his eyes
As he issued.

Are we to say nothing now?
I feel helpless.

This will be visceral.
This we will become ashamed of.

We don't get Libyan TV here in Nebraska, but, yes, I feel ashamed. After all of our recent efforts to be pals with Poppa, this happens.
