RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN JUSTICE
Extrajudicial Killing
They announced a major victory
In the war against cartels
They killed eleven on the open sea
Then they rang the victory bell
Who among us would dare ask
Where is the evidence?
Were they wearing cartel masks?
Were their narco dollars spent?
Do we claim the right to kill
Without just and righteous cause?
Anyone we can and will
Without protection of the law?
You tell us they were terrorists
Importing killer drugs
Were their names on the terror list?
Are there photos of their mugs?
Is the law not for others?
Are you the ones who will decide?
Justice for one but not another?
Protections only for our side
This is a fundamental wrong
One that cannot be denied
It belies the weak, not strong
The day that justice lied
(US blows up a speedboat off the
coast of Venezuela.)
