The Man and His Country
Most helpful in obtaining the nationhood over the years,
Was a keen sense.
My gratitude told me many things about,
After.
When command was ambiguous and radical,
A friendship was found and undersold.
Communicating with the enemy was grief.
Riffling through them until
Yellowing strips of newsprint
Were obstructing identity.
They included a man of deep convictions.
From them,
I obtained a different view of what they stood for.
The daily fighting opposed,
The proposed.
In the hysteria was
A terrorist and a war criminal.
While armed bystanders negotiated absurd times,
It became necessary thereafter,
To capture the man,
And his country.
