Evidence

What's the angle?
Focussed telephoto world view?
The truth is what you see–
The truth is what you're told.

Wide-angle broadsweep
That takes in all the surroundings?
No action seen in isolation,
No event not part of another.

Focus sharp on Iraq:
The crimes of leadership,
The hidden secrets laid bare,
Or still under wraps.
There is no choice
Something must be done,
Statesmen take us
Marching with the might of right.

Or take a wider view?
Past wars as well as new
Pipelines across the Middle East
No reduction in oil pollution
Why a Franco-Russian alliance
Stands against a war?
Why people in the streets protest
To protect the right of law?

Which angle are you?
