(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Welcome to sing-along-karaoke-satire. It is a lighthearted way of examining very serious subjects that haunt Americans of conscience increasingly. It is a paradox, living in a nation that crushes and destroys human life for the sake of business interests, one that considers itself the finest and very above the fray. Though I suspect that even the diehard individuals know and accept in their hearts, that we are the same as all oppressive, occupational military mindsets that came before us. I say "we" because I contributed to the problems also as an 'embedded reporter' there to seemingly glorify a mission that has left up to or more than a million and a half dead people in its wake. Americans who are 'cool' with that are lucky, because there are millions of us who abhor what has happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and Palestine, and Lebanon. We are disgusted by the outpouring of funds for war that could and should be used for so many other things. The thing that got me about this poem is the aspect relating to Fallujah. This is a place I have visited and today, it is where desperate doctors write to me telling me about the myriad birth defects taking place because of American weapons. We're talking about depleted uranium, (DU) the gift that keeps on giving. Then of course there is America's direct support of Israel's military efforts, which are Genocidal toward the Palestinian population. - forward by Tim King, Salem-News.com news editor You can listen to background music in a You Tube music link by opening in separate tab.

BATTLE HYMN OF AMERICA'S ZIONISTSThey’ve taught us since our childhood who to hate and who to love; (Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! We place it near the watch-fires of our hundred circling camps, (Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! We fight to raise our Flag with burnished guns of steel: (Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! We’ve sounded forth a trumpet that has rarely called retreat; (Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! In the beauty of the lilies Christ spoke of love and peace,
(Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our ships go where they need to on the cresting of a wave, (Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Copyright © 2011 P. A. Miller Reprinted with Permission
