If This Were Kabul We’d Call It Nation Building
At Least 6 Killed, 56 Wounded In Chicago Labor Day
Weekend Gun Violence
-CBS 2 Chicago
Maybe one of the civilized nations
Will send us aid: food packages, nylons
Chocolate for the children, used clothing
Cigarettes for the old men, can openers
Maybe one of the civilized nations
Will send their young soldiers to guard our streets
And missionaries to teach us the Bible
And volunteer nurses to teach us hygiene
Maybe one of the civilized nations
Will pity us, and make us a protectorate
(From a reminder by Anthony Germain)
