Murdering in the Name of War
By Christopher Dorner
“We’re going to go forward with the plan”
Said the understandably upset man
“Seven of the burners deployed,
And we have a fire”- and Dorner is destroyed.
Yet we must fully realize
That war is what we must despise
Dorner declared war on the LAPD
An institution with a corrupt history
And in short order managed
To inflict horrific collateral damage
By blowing several people away
And striking terror into the heart of LA
For the declaration of war ends compassion
And leads to the deaths of the innocent civilian
And justifies atrocities beyond imagination
Using the latest weapons of annihilation
Douhet, Dorner, Brevic and McVay
All had the same message to say:
That they were are at war and justified in killing
Innocents in a manner quite chilling
Dresden, Hamburg and Tokyo we see
Were followed shortly by Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
Where the instantaneous mushroom cloud flash
Converted hundreds of thousands into carbonized ash
The president has assumed the right
In the name of the global terror war fight
To engage in signature strikes beyond imagination
Where those killed are terrorists by definition
These examples all have a common thread-
That war leaves predominantly innocents dead
And that actions by individuals are considered psychotic
But sanctioned by states no matter how despotic.
War and violence is what we must fight
For all peoples of the earth have the right
To live in the future their peaceful tomorrows
Without war’s unending and devastating sorrows
