Sincerely Yours


What are friends for, after all

if not to gather 'round and sincerely

commiserate over one's ill fortune

seeking to fortify the unfortunate's

morale, muttering and uttering

imprecations and warnings against the

malefactor intent on upsetting the

ethical order of global human rights 

attainment, including those of a

state in reflecting the wholesale

wishes of its people. Unfortunately

empathy and backpats achieve little

in the face of a military stealthily in

advance, like a leonine predator

concealing its intentions until the

final denouement when all the

champions of sovereignty and rights

and justice withdraw in fear of

inclusion by circumstance revealing

their aversion to a conflict that will

sacrifice the future of the victim.
