No greater harm there is as when good men
Are silent, shy, and walk with down-cast eyes,
Or strangle and restrain the poet's pen,
In toleration of deceit and lies.
Too grim events have taken place of late,
Lo! to ignore them is disgrace and shame,
For to high heaven cries Benghazigate,
It will retain for evermore this name
To sing sweet pious tunes will not suffice
Don't do as did beguiling envoy Rice
Who streamed five times on busy networks Five.
To keep deception bald and lies alive
With ghostly voices whispering in the rear,
To reassure the dull and wax-clogged ear.
But do as Jesus did while here on earth,
Bespeaking white-washed dwellings that so stink,
In words exquisite, adequate and terse,
To keep man's cherished soul with Truth in sync
Four heroes died, - for help invain they cried
To rescue harsh assignment's threatened spot,
But were ignored and needed help denied.
Their blood cries out to heaven and to God.

| Or strangle and restrain the poet's pen.......great line of truth and this world is so often not wanting to hear the truth but in this poem you have shouted it out loud and it has been heard. |
