Caught in the Web

Information is inflammation–
Iran’s government begins to crack.
Students shoot their web cell phones
And para-military fires back.

Fires blaze in the streets–
Mousavi’s green wave grows,
Digital tides lap up to the world
While blood continues to flow.

Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Are downloadable bugle horns.
Iranian students are journalists
When foreign reporters are scorned.

The Republican guard in America
Demand democracy not be aborted.
But that happened already here
When Bush was Supremely Courted.
