inspired by “USA! USA!" is the wrong response
Students clad in Polos and khakis
Bump fists and slap hands
Celebrate in packed hallways.They ask my opinion on the murder of Bin Laden.
I sputter:
Thousands upon thousands dead in a decade.
Our minds see terror in turbans and prayer.
We’ve spent billions killing innocents.
They listen respectfully, turn their backs,
And join in the chant.
