Take the freakin' oil...

Poem Artwork


Its what the war was about from the start,


Saddam captured, on trial, just another old fart,


Our military dying in multitudes,


Take the oil and leave them a prescription for Quaaludes…


 


Bring them back to protect US from the southerly throng,


Those that are climbing over themselves to cross the border,


Arrest them, send them home, without English they don’t understand orders,


They will be back again, next week, next month, ten times strong…


 


So Mr. Bush please if you will,


Act like a real president just this once, still,


Do for US, not for the world in general,


Maybe by this act, someday to someone,


You will seem to be most venerable…

Do I hear an echo? We could comb all the long haired Italians in NJ and use the grease to make the wall so slippery they can't climb over. The rest, refine it into high quality, home grown, gasoline. ;-)

The world has been held hostage by greed. Black gold is one reason for fat cats to get fatter and we seem to balance the need with the death of our family and friends which isn't a balance but a greater loss. The shame of it all is the passing of love that war forgets.

Just hope all doesn't continue until the streets of the whole earth are flowing either black or red... What price humanity over barrels of oil? Don't tell Mr Bush, but the gas was about ONE EURO for a WHOLE TANK in Venezuela... I think they feel they're next...
