I am an old guy who just moved from Oregon to the highlands of Chiapas in
San Cristobal. A breath of fresh air. The poem Liars to me says everything
about current US foreign policy and many other aspects of our national
life. Power and wealth corrupt, in the end, absolutely.
Since 2002 I have been writing e-mails and letters to the editor against
the Iraqi War and few got through.
I sent shorter excerpts of Liars and none got published.
Now the poem is more apropo than ever, now that the public has finally
turned against the war, has the scales off their eyes, and Bush and other
leaders continue to lie, deceive and defy the popular will.
