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
