He knew, he knew all along
The coming war wouldn't take too long
He knew he had to act quickly to win
But even more quickly for war to begin

To begin the operation and finally crush Iraq
Or he would lose his chance for the mass attack
He set the course for all the lies he would put forth
To target someone to fill the empty shoes of Ollie North

Like father, like son, he needed someone he could blame
But false intelligence only leads to a greater family shame
Now this mighty nation must close the bleeding breach
Of trust, and wisely utilize the people's power to impeach

For the only mass destruction was to Iraqi lives and land
And now he's sure their weapons plan must be buried in the sand
His plan is clear, to create new laws for his absolute power
His corruption built with the bones unfound from either tower

All this time we wondered where all the innocent victims went
Now they've been found being used by King George, the pResident
Claiming to bring justice to US by freeing terrors firm controls
And just like those he hates, unjustly used our soldiers and their souls

Author's Note: It seems that every day, he reaffirms my feelings. I suppose I should thank GW, as he has inspired me to do things I never did before. Going to numerous peace vigils, rallies and marches locally, in NY City and Washington DC over the past few years has just scratched the surface. Aside from writing poetry, I have written letters to my representatives at various levels of government, written to newspapers editorial pages and numerous on-line websites. YUP, GW has inspired me like no other. Now I just hope we are able to fix all the damage this madman has wrought on the world, environmentally, politically and to humanity. The physical damage to property is repairable with money, but no amount of money can unkill a single innocent child.
