Here is a poem I found.

[ccharles000]

Take up the Dubya's Burden
Send forth young men to bleed
Go bind your sons to endless war
To serve your leader's need
To wait in anxious worry
Who this week has him riled?
His new found mortal enemy
Half devil and half child

Take up the Dubya's burden
In impotence abide
To use the threat of terror
To satisfy his pride
Speech after speech so simple
An hundred times made plain
To seek more oil profits
To make more corporate gain

Take up the Dubya's burden
The savage wars of peace
Ignore homegrown famine
And bid poor complaints cease
And when your goal is nearest
The end of terror sought
Go find another enemy
And bring peace hopes to naught

Take up the Dubya's burden
No tawdry rule of kings
But surveillance of people
Invade their private things
The homes you should not enter
The rights you should not tread
Let Ashcroft do his bidding
Let people live with dread

Take up the Dubya's burden
And reap his old reward
The blame of those who suffer
An economy scarred
The cry of jobless millions
And those who demand "rights"
Why brought ye us more bondage
And turned our land to night?

Take up the Dubya's burden
Ye dare not stoop to less
Nor call too loud on freedom
Which governments detest
By all ye cry or whisper
By all ye leave or do
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your G-d's and you

Take up the Dubya's burden
Have done with peaceful days
Before you deal with one war
Let two more take its place
Come now, prove Dubya's manhood
Through troubled, war-plagued years
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom
The judgment of your peers!



This is a truly sad piece of writing.
