Numb…
Once again I’ve grown numb to the events happening thousands and thousands of miles away. Just another blip on the radar as Tom and Katie pimp their new baby and their beliefs on us.
Wait wait wait! What about Brad Pitt and Angie? How dare they go to some off the wall place like Bumfucked, Egypt to have their kid. Don’t they know the entire world wants to know?
Selfish pricks…
Hey, anybody taking bets on who’s getting the boot on American Idol tonight? I mean, after all, “America has spoken”.
Sometimes I wish it would just shut the fuck up.
Or at least speak about something important.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch in Iraq, shit is still blowing up left and right. We can watch movies about stuff like that until the cows come home but sorry Big Fella, can’t show you on the news.
Folks that have snuck over the borders and that have lived here for years searching for a better way of life have been threatened with eviction by some of the more insane types amongst us.
Our forefathers would be disgusted…
I’m disgusted…
You should be too…
What songs will be written
about the war in Iraq?
About those who went over
and never came back?
What needs to be said
about the people who died
for WMD’s
and maybe some misguided pride?
And what needs to be told
about those who were maimed
So we could see on tv
The fall of Saddam Hussein
And what needs to be seen
about those missing limbs?
Or is it too ugly a picture
to be shown on a whim?
And then what about those
that come back in one piece?
Will they ever be with us
and once again feel relief?
Yes, once it was “Mission Accomplished,”
or at least so they thought.
But there are many among us
That just couldn’t be bought
And now the tide’s finally turning,
or so they say in the press.
Outside the people are speaking
and they want their redress.
But their voices seem mute
to those who claim wiser.
We must stay the course
All “Hail to the Kaiser!”
"There were no mistakes,
at least none we’ll admit!
Now go about your business
and don’t give us no shit!"
"Because we’ll always be there
with our ears to the wires
So watch what you say
and don’t call us liars."
"Don’t you see we’re at war
and this is no time to retract
something so vital
as the Patriot Act?"
"It’s in the countries best interests
to give us more power
and cede some of your own
to those in the tower."
"Because we know what’s best
for you and for yours
and don’t you think otherwise
or else we’ll just close our doors"
"You'll be out on your ass
in the blink of an eye
without even a pot you can piss in
so don't even try."
