Notes An epigram poem, this is a satirical comment on US foreign policy. The speaker of this poem tells another that they don't understand the role of the USA in global affairs. Although there is no explicit reference to human rights abuses in this poem, if read in conjunction with other poems by Alan Titley, then an over-reach and abuse of political power may very well be implied in the poem.
