The Poem, "Is It True?," by a Guantanamo Prisoner
Over four years ago, President Barack Obama promised to close Guantanamo Prison! It still remains open. At noon, on Thursday, April 11, 2013, over a hundred Human Rights activists staged a "Day of Action" demonstration in front of the White House, (and, at many other sites around the country, too), to remind him to keep his word on this important public policy, legal and moral issue. At the end of the rally, Peace & Justice Activist Frank Cordaro of the Catholic Worker Community in Des Moines, Iowa, read a poem, entitled, "Is It True?" It was written by one of the prisoners at Guantanamo.
