| Notes | This poem describes the 'American Way of Death': Americans purports to not kill journalists during the War on Terror in Iraq, yet bomb a hotel full of journalists in Baghdad, leading to the deaths of Al-Jazeera journalists. The poem also refers to 'Mná Sí' - fairy women - showing them as part of the arsenal of Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense in America. |
