We Knew This Day Would Come...

We knew this day would come...

Even as we rushed into Beruit to save "the Palestinian leader"
from certain destruction,
and they blew us up for our trouble.

Even as we tried to insure Somalians received food and not the warlords,
and they dragged us through the streets for our trouble.

Even as we released muslim women from the rape camps in Bosnia,
and they shot our planes down for our trouble.

Even as we freed 50 million muslims from governments
they claim to despise,
and they swore our "absolute destruction" for our trouble.

We knew this day would come...


And yet...

I feel guilty that I'm overjoyed that my friends,
and their families weren't hurt.

And yet...

I feel angry for those who were...
