Give Obama Another Chance!

As an Iranian-American who voted for Obama four years ago, I would like to give him another chance in this election to accomplish his goals. If Romney moves into the White House, he will stick to his guns and God, bomb Iran, deport millions of Latino immigrants, limit women’s control over their bodies, cut benefits for the poor, elderly and disabled, abolish Obama care, ignore the catastrophic impact of greenhouse emissions on the environment, choose more conservative members for the Supreme Court, destroy NPR and PBS, and so on...

I Cannot Believe It, Colonel Gaddafi!

Colonel Gaddafi!

I cannot believe that before death

They humiliated you with a piece of stick

Only a few month after your rant

That you would march alley by alley

And search house by house

To purge all Libya

Of brave women and men

Who, after years of suppression,

Finally rebelled against you.

From each school of thought

You learned only the worst lesson:

From nationalists, anti-imperialist shows

Homeless in Venice

"This land punched-in, cuffed-out, divided,
Held like a crucifix in a deathhand."
