Here Is One Looking at You

a poem
by One of Us

* * *

ah,
waiting to see your eyes.
But fog has grown thicker and tragic for you
Spread by the masters of lies.

Human and monster — it’s our mix,
Look at your eyes in the mirror.
But it’s a mortally masterly fix
To get us all frozen in terror.

All made to repeat what the liars howl:
“Murdering monster, not human!”
While masterfully spinning red fog on demand
Whip cracking, blinding the yeomen.

Blinding with arrogant “human rights” sham lies,
Punishing under the law
Law broken, subverted under all eyes.
Eyes frozen, you cannot say “No!”

Here is he, looking at you
Asking you to get off your knees,
To regain your eyes and then see anew:
Is he the monster, the beast?
The liar?
The blood-stained Palestine murderer?
The sly usurer, bankrupting your state and your nation,
taking away your right to bear arms,
“legally” taking away your liberty daily?

Spell it: L – I – B – E – R – T – Y.

Is this all him?

Dare to look at the eyes.
Dare to look for the truth,
to see, and to say what you think.
Who else would dare for you?
