Senator John S McCain
A majority of the US
and world opposed
the war in Vietnam, and
oppose now US government
wars in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Syria,
Yemen, Libya etc.
We thank you,
Senator John S McCain,
for your strong opposition
to torture, your bipartisan
unifying, your humor, energy
and optimism, for the countless
times you supported humane
legislation, for your work to take
money out of politics, to protect
the climate, to close gunshow
and online gun purchase loopholes,
to defend the victims of bullies
and for your self
sacrifice in staying with the other
POW's rather than taking the easy
way out, for your egalitarian ways, making
others feel welcome, for inviting antiwar
activists Warren
Beatty and Gary Hart to your funeral
and for defending presidential candidate
Barack Obama as well as other blacks, Latinos,
Asians, Muslims etc. from
racist criticism.
