Morons And Madness

[dweller]

A Poem by Richard Macintosh

"They stand, they fight, sometimes they run when we engage them. But often they run into our machine guns and we shoot them down
like the morons they are."
--US Brigadier General John Kelly, assistant commander of the 1st marine division in Iraq. (1)



It's hard to tell the morons from the mad, these days,
Or the mad from the morons,
Madness and idiocy merging, as the case may be.

It is difficult to tell who is more mad,
Men running into machine gun fire,
Or other men gunning them down.

I mean, who is more moronic?
Those who die for a dead cause,
Or those who believe they're killing for freedom?

Men killing in the name of freedom,
Going home after a killing spree
To a nation no longer free.
