Inverted Reality
'Raise the alarms- Truth has been captured
It was taken across the boarder last night'
Alert the media-
Integrity was caught in crossfire
'Collateral damage' they said.
A freedom fighter by any other name
would smell as sweet
Colonisation dressed up in democracy
will be exposed
'Insurgents of reason are causing unrest'
'Let missiles of liberation silence them'
Defence is aggression
Aggression ... defence
War will bring peace-
It's a pre-emptive strategy
'Breaking news: Truth has
been assassinated,
dragged through the streets and spat on.
Its innards exposed
It's difficult to recognise.'
Morality is impotent
Aggression spreads its seed
Something is amiss-
a reality inverted

"The biggest casualty of war is truth" This line stood out for me in Dawud Wharnsby's 'The Letter'
When will there be justice in the world?
Word verification reads 'courg' I immediately read it as courage-apt for this post
