IN PRAISE OF WIKILEAKS#3

we know we are being lied to-but by whom?
Release of "secret"documents reveal civilian casualties-
the first being truth!What we are told is not what is said among states-
where realpolitics means deception,spying and necessary cleansing via wikileaks
We are civilians-if we lived in Afghanistan or Pakistan,Iraq or Palestine
we would praise any release of communications
that placed us in a context of trust over fear
Strip searched @airports,with two wars bleeding us
our national treasure and blood lost in foreign lands
for no purpose or clear intention-we need Wikileaks!
Without release of truthful information worldwide
we only have state sponsored propaganda to guide us
and we tend to forget those IDF murders on the Gaza relief convoy
the links between Pakistan intelligence and the Taliban
and the bribing of Karzai in Afghanistan.Fundamentalism has no power
when confronted with evidence of Machiavellianisms.
Crusades and Jihads fail when a fully informed public(that means YOU!)
unites behind intelligent links rather than faulty intelligence
REPEAT=There were no "weapons of mass destruction"
Palestine needs to be unilaterally declared a nation state
just as Afghanistan is a failed state,with corrupted elections
and bribed officials do not a democracy make.
Try freedom of information/not censoring GOOGLE
Freedom of speech/not attacking Wikileaks
Then democracy can be a reality rather than a violated promise
and we can rest,not having to write another poem petition
in praise of necessary Wikileaks!
