Poem Artwork


 


Get US out,


Our boys are dying,


For a country that doesn’t want them,


Let Iraq defend, decide, our aid denied…


 


These people who kill,


Kill their own just for the thrill,


Move US out overnight,


No warnings, just up and leave,


Let them wipe themselves out,


No longer to Mother America’s breast let them cleave…


 


So, per the President, our goal we didn’t accomplish,


Our goal should be, to bring our boys home,


No longer should they die over oil,


What’s the big deal, just another country without democracy,


No longer need our boys in a desert half a world away, toil…


                   …Get US out…

I agree, Bro. Our valiant soldiers should come home, and we should let that blasted country fight its own civil war.
