Default The Expendables

Okay, let me say this first, it has almost no plot, little character development, and in general, is not very good.

However, if you want to feel like a manly man and go DAAAMN at explosions and giant gunfights, its worth a watch.

Did you expect a movie with Bruce Willis, Arnold, Rambo, Lee, transporter guy, and all those other guys in it, to have a plot?

Waterboarding

You say you'd give up your life
longing for
The Blue Goddess
But I ask
Would you give up your life on Pandora
for another
all those woman, children, and even men
tortured
captured in a waterboarding scene
and or cindering cigar scene ...
and realize its not just a movie scene

Would you
give your life .... here
to stop it?

You're not really awake .. not really
unitil you watch that scene
and your first reaction
or only
is to want to throw-up
and that urge doesnt' fade away
then
you can state
I 'see' now .. oh god how I see now
*
*
*

and then I grew up!


Edit: Please note the poem is meant only as a reflection of my own condition and questioning to myself .. to stop these atrocities ... in a life of service dedicated to activism and peace .. raising consciousness of the spirit .. and the elimination of suffering through humanitarian means. Up to now my longing has been to want to fly away from this awareness .. now I wish to stay and be present to change, in what ever way, the roots that give rise to these senseless horrors.
