Whistle-Blower

The release of news, not new, for half a year,

Has the U.S. military strangled with fear,

As their abuse is quite so exposed,

And the analyst who confessed to their crimes,

Surely locked away and denied,

Just as many would suppose

 

To show the helicopter of slaughter,

All a-whirl with sadistic laughter,

As it mows a family down,

For to have the public see their guilt,

And all the needless blood they have spilt,

That surely can’t be allowed

 

And in their madness they revelled,

As Garani was levelled,

And the most killed were children,

Now so many can’t forget it,

In the armed forces discredit,

For  a whistle-blower was jailed then

 

Of such justices, few, it seems, are stranger,

When the word is given despite the danger,

To tell what the public should know,

Yet to all it’s quite plain to see,

Such forces deserve such infamy,

For their true colours shown.
