Speak Up Poem by Saiom Shriver

Those who are silent about the immorality,
illegality, security-endangerment, bankrupting
genocide of our occupying government's
wars are not supporting our troops, not defending
our soldiers, but making them cannon fodder
for the warmongers and war profiteers who
send them to lives of constant nightmares, to injury,
to family busting, alcoholism, PTSD, homelessness,
to the highest rates of suicide, of death by friendly fire,
by training accident, by depleted uranium, by Veterans'
Administration neglect, or by those who are the flavor
enemy of the month.
