It’s Called Murder (12/3/25)

By margtjenny December 3, 2025

Vessels weren’t armed, posed no threat
No proof of drugs, and… and yet
Pete authorized
Once boat had capsized
Their murder, devoid of regret

Lethality without legality
A policy without morality
Congress, step up
With this don’t put up
Hold them to account with finality

Or with them you will be complicit
The law is quite clear and explicit
and when it’s done to us
They’ll remember, and thus
No support will US elicit

But wait, US is not at war
So, blowing up vessels off shore
About which they’ve lied
Due process denied
Is murder they’re accountable for
