suicides at guantánamo

we now have come almost to the last pass
beyond which lie and truth become as one
where mirrors reflect mirrors concave convex
and false images are projected from above

terrified hidden our darkest desires
become the qualities of our enemies
and nothing can be said that' s too absurd
to be uttered by some uniformed jack-in-office

so men who kill themselves but seek
publicity for their undesired cause
or have committed against our innocent men
a criminal obscene act of war
