Not to get too artsy but here is a poem that came to me while out running. Yeah, sometimes that happens.
At Least
The Iraqi torturer takes a break
when his wife calls
She asks about balloons
for their six year old’s birthday
The minister in the sauna
fondles the young boys
And as he does
thinks of a line for his sermon
The lawyer lies to the judge
in the name of advocacy
Then she wonders if she needs a canopy
for her daughter's graduation
At least I am with Saddam
At least I am for God
At least I am rich
