Moral Conundrum - Syrian/American Dilemma Poem by James B. Earley

Death...is still dying
Whatever..its source
'Tis the final analysis
As matter...of course

..Once past the period
Of reflection...I saw
In 'Salvation's' missiles
..That hypocritical flaw

For it boggles the mind
...To conceivably rejoice
Between Assad's chemicals
And 'Our' missiles..of choice

Again...we go nosing
...In lands faraway
Right here..in America
Thousands dying each day

Where is the outrage
Where might the pain
Indeed we go meddling
In some foreign terrain

While our own lay dying
From whatever the source
....'Tis the final analysis
As...a matter....of course
