Guest: Colonel Larry Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, gives his thoughts on the recent Petraeus hearings.
Déjà vu
How now brown cowboys
do you close the can of worms
opened out of vengeance?
Don’t wonder why people want to kill you;
wonder what your mission is.
Your rite of passage routes
east of Eden;
you’re hostages of orders that say,
“Go to Hell,”
and vulnerable to the disease
that doesn’t end.
Fight the war
fought so many times before;
lie to me
and tell me
it was worth a spit.
