don' hate playa, don' hate

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

Anybody remember that famous line, "We, The People. . . ?"

"With the number of U.S. casualties expected to reach 1,000 well before the election, "Master GB" said, ``The president has to make hard decisions. My job is to confront problems not pass them on. And the American people have seen me make the hardest of decisions. That's just going to have to be a part of their decision-making process.' (Quote from USA Story link below.)

Poem Artwork

Ain' tryin' to hate you now, Playa,

we know the stakes are real high

it's tough to make clear decisions

when the golf balls you hit go awry;


No we ain' tryin' ta hate your posse, Playa,

it’s cool to friends that stay true

but jus' cuz ya feel we swing  different directions

don’ mean we ain’ diggin’ the red white & blue;


See we ain' tryin' ta hate ya religion, Playa,


Worship jus’ now ya please;

but jus' cause some may bow down facin’ east,

ain’ no proof God will not heed their pleas;



And we ain' tryin' to put down your family, Playa,

we know they’re important to you;

we just want you to know while outsourcing our jobs

that American strength needs our families too.

In the USA Today interview, Bush was asked why he is staying in politics.


There's a lot of my friends who come and bass-fish with me. They don't say it out loud, I know they're thinking it: Why?' Bush said. ``And the answer is because the stakes are high. Because there is more work to be done to make the world a freer and more peaceful place. It is essential that America lead in the 21st century in order to defeat the ideologues who use terror as a weapon, in order to secure the homeland, but also in order to spread liberty. I know what needs to be done,

I see clearly where we need to go and I want to spend four years leading toward that goal. And I believe the American people will give me that opportunity,' he said.
The Moderate Independent: not the Left, Not the Right; just right.
