On Bombings and Apologies

"I'm sorry," said the captain

After killing your wife

Upon maiming your children

And wrecking your life.

"I'm sorry," he said,

"The missile, it missed,"

Then took a step back

when he sensed a clenched fist.

"That damn missile went left

when it should have gone right

-It's so hard to see straight

in the middle of the night."

"Dear X, know our country

did not want you dead.

That missile was meant

for your neighbor instead."
