1500 Dead ..... a Poem
Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 04:40 PM by Botany
1500 Americans are now dead for a lie,
In a house somewhere....... a mother will
get up to make the coffee and break down and cry.

A father will go by the swings that not too long ago
held his child .... who laughed and said,
"Push me higher daddy ..... do we have to go?"

His footsteps will be heavy and almost leaden,
he will feel very old and wonder if there is a heaven.

In a backyard a young boy will wish to play catch,
but with no dad around .....
he will think that his heart is burning; as if lit by a match.

A women will glance at a picture of her "sis,'"
Damn she thinks ......
My buddy, my tell all friend, Oh God! Her I will miss.

She thinks that they were supposed to be together for a really long time
and sobs ......
she thinks that bush has robbed her of her sister ......
and that is no little crime

On Fox news, the paid whores will keep talking their crap,
"Freedom is on the march & The President knows
where those terrorists are at."

But the pain is not in this country alone,
In Iraq the accidental death of child
because of the war .......
has killed all the joy in many a home.

Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie, and Rice ......
can you not admit a mistake?
Or are you even bothered by the terrible price?

To Kristol and the rest of his PNAC gang
After WW II the "minds behind Hitler,"
were given a trial and sent to jail or to hang.


:cry:
