"Despite what might appear to many as very controversial lines, please note that I am an American and I love all people, Americans, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Israelis, etc. I do believe, however, that the greatest expression of one's love is to strive for justice. My concept of justice is very simple. It is based on international human rights. Everything I write is directed towards trying to achieve the justice of the human being. This I believe is the highest form of patriotism, the highest form of citizenship. The right and responsibility of every human being."

At War With America
Copyright CFJ Doebbler 2003

I am at war with America.
You have declared the war.
You have thrown the first weapons,
into my silent struggling gardens.

It is not a war I wanted.
I begged it not be.
I tried so many ways,
To tell you this.

You were deaf,
Stupidly deaf,
Uncaring,
Unhearing.

You claim “we” attacked.
Who is this “we”?
The more than 3 billion,
You have enslaved?

Or are “we” your friends,
Who you treat with contempt,
Unless “we” buy your goods.
You don’t know, do you!

“We” waited, “we” begged,
“we” played your game.
You promised, you lied,
You led “us” on.

Our path to destruction,
started at you doorstep,
yet you blame “us”, for your
action, as if “we” could matter.

In you broad view,
only you are true.
Only you exist,
inside you selfishness.

“We” were outside, dying,
while you basked,
in our wealth,
“we” in your feces.

You claim “we” use force,
And you? What do you use?
A few of “us” have stood up,
With your means.

“We” are peaceful people.
“We” are trying to survive.
“We” are trying to prosper.
“We” are like you.

If you will fight “us,”
“we” will fight back,
for “our” children,
for “our” future.

“We” will use all the methods,
“we” can muster, and more,
to defeat your inhumanity,
towards “us” and “our children.”

I am at war with America,
a war of words and deeds,
based on your laws and ways,
and my will to be free.

Government Propaganda


Winner of the October 2003 Poetry.com "Editors' Choice Award"

Government goes on,
without the people to interfere,
without our feeble thoughts or votes,
manufacturing consent, and where needed,
dissent too, to prove that we are really wrong,
and that the government, despite itself, is always right.
Lying on its back, lacking truth, sun-bathing in its slimy shyness.

Oh hailed government!
cruel king, queen, and jester,
neutered by your own power,
swaying in your own excrement,
and stinking, badly like the rotting lies,
so many lies, that you swear to us are true,
