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.
