Not In My Name
Protecting civilian life against Gaddafi’s war machine in beseiged towns
The familiar checkmate
Democracy delivered to people mired in conflict against their own
Not, of course, a war for us or overstepping a mandate
Just support – an odd bit of equipment here and there -
A rekkie or two, protection from the air
Follow the money or the oil
When deciding to be loyal.
Murder a policewoman or blow up the plane?
Just move some goal posts, but not in my name!

Isn't a shame that life can be such a bitch, wouldn't it be so much easier if we didn't have to find answers to complex questions?

Re: Not In My Name
Excellent poem and I'm with you all the way.
Yes this is the real "Little John" (or it could be "colin")
