Not In My Name

A found poem adapted from the captions of photographs
Qaddafi Pledges ‘Long War’ as Allies Pursue Air Assault on Libya

Tornado warplanes
Fighter jets
Stealth bombers
Cruise missiles

Mustard gas
Snipers
Human shields

Tracer bullets streaking across midnight sky
Navy destroyers firing Tomahawk missiles

Enemy plane enflamed
Rebel fighters interrogated
Soldiers awaiting identification
At the morgue
