I couldn't help myself, folks - enjoy!
Madman Martin Wilcox Wu
Professed alternative points of view.
"He must be mad," the leader said.
(He knows that he could wake up dead.)
But Martin told his friends about
All his fears, and all his doubt.
The leader's words came swift but few:
Call him madman; that's what we'll do.
Our enemies have harmed his brain.
We'll redeem him by inducing pain.
They kicked him, beat him, hooded his head.
Stuffed in a bag they kicked him dead.
"Enemy combatant" they all said.
They were proud when he was dead.
He dared to doubt; it must be true!
"Do not question": This means YOU.
Yes, I think we'll win this fight
With our thousand points of light.
I don't care what our leaders say
This is not the American way.
You must think we're each a clod
To do this in the name of God:
He sent a Man down from above
Who said "Replace your hate with love."
