Pay For The War by JJ JohnsonMeanwhile al-Qaeda hides Osama in the Afghan hills
Spun and fled, they live to produce terror another day
In his oval orifice George seeks funds to ease the battle bills
Against his fathers enemy, he swears that he will pay
Hell win the war at any cost, no matter who he kills
1888 U.S. soldiers dead along with the children of Iraq
Perhaps a distraction of destruction by natures forces would prevail
As Katrina stormed the Gulf he opportunely turned his back
He might drown out one mothers tears with Mother Natures gale
Or did he just not care because his latest victims would be black?
Some feared the worst would be costly oil spills
Till the Chevy sunk the levee and the price rose anyway
Filling with water that need not have crossed those hills
Drowning the barren streets but the dead float anyway
The sunken city of New Orleans starves while his hungry war chest fills
Repeating the call though we have heard it all before
Impeach Gee-Dubbaya before he passes on the blame
Evict his whole God dam regime and lock the White House door
For theres no amount of money that can buy away his shame
And one way or another we will pay for the war
09/03/2005 Author's Note: This poem mysteriously lost the last two lines and I just fixed it. I have no idea how long it has been like that, but it ticks me off. That last line defines it. I may repost this in the morning, after it was just announced that Obama has decided to withdrawl all solidiers from Iraq by the end of the year. I have been waiting 10 years for this. Peace, JJ
