Guantanamo

Today I will break you,
shake you, take your dignity
and forsake your God.
Only I have God, the God
of the savannah,
tearing slaves along
a night's stony track.
Today I will break you
pee on you, quake you,
so you defecate,
play white noise in your head
and breed an orange hate.
Today I will scream
my thick, Texan drawl
into your Muslim soul
and twist your mind.
Today I will blind you
with suggestion and you
will tell me everything,
deny your brother,
kill your friends.
Today will only end
if you admit
what you never did.
