As the Bombs Fell |
|
Tim Graves |

As the bombs fell, I wept. I wept for the Iraqi children cowering in fear. I wept for the American children witnessing war. I wept for the adults unable or unwilling to protect the children from violence and war. I wept for our hatred, our paranoia, our fear, and our arrogance that enables war to happen. I wept for my country choosing to kill; losing its integrity in an illegal and unprovoked war. I wept for democracy as we allowed a demagogue to wage his war with the lives of our young and with the taxes we pay. I wept for humanity turning its back to God, to Allah, to Jehovah, to the Great Spirit.
