Connect the Dots (poem)

By Carl Nyberg

Terrorism is violence
With a political goal
War is politics
By other means
War is
As Oscar Schindler noted
A chance for
Failed businessmen
To redeem
Their failures
To get rich off
Someone else
Many someone elses
Dying somewhere else
A long tailpipe
So profit happens here
And death happens there

—Carl Nyberg
