America don't torture

By Robert Braunstein (Page 1 of 1 pages) 2 comments

I'm so glad I caught yah. There's a new memo On torture. Come on, Let's go off To the prison. Let's bring a brand new euphemism. How's about we try Enhanced interrogation; And thereby cause Advanced capitulation. It sounds good, It sounds like a plan, Let's ask the scum in legal And see if we can. We can drown them 183 times. If we just Accuse them of some crimes We can bang them off the wall And give their heads a bash. If we give them collars To protect them from whiplash We can make them stand for hours As long as there are medics Call it exercise or even calisthenics We can put them in a box And stick some bugs inside there too That should make them admit to something, Even if it ain't true. The lawyers say With their linguistic invention We can sidestep the quaint Geneva convention. Did you see Condoleezza, Cheney and Rumsfeld? They really love their work, Sadistic evil people, with a twist of berserk. If the prisoners sign a statement that They worked with Sadam in Iraq We can justify our, Glorious pre-emptive attack.

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."
