"Each time you speak someone's child dies"


Poem Artwork

Rhinestone Cowboy Heart

Up on your high horse little man
You might think you have the answer
But you have no idea at all
Smirking at us because you can
The world is weary of your lies
Metastasizing like cancer

Each time you speak someone's child dies
And will you have the answer when
Their mothers come to you and say
Enough of them have died someday
For your false war? Just lie more then
More hype and more hypocrisy

You knew you could never fool me
But now your loyalists ask "why?"
As eyes through tears begin to see
You on your high horse little man
As one by one our children die
Smirking at us because you can

Now broken hearts in the heartland realize
Little wars grow big and bring things down to size

But your cold rhinestone cowboy heart is ...empty

I'm with Elizabeth, I really do detest politicians. Give me someone with a 'poets heart' anyday. Good dirt kicking, dust stirring write.

Very intense and true write that is growing sentiment in a lot of hearts within and without the US of A. Well done Steve, powerfufl statement.

I am not a Bushit fan myself, so this I like.
Actually, I don't give a honker for any politician. I read an article recently by a noted Harvard teacher that equated the Bush regime to a dictatorship or the closest you can get. I don't think the old boy was far off.

Good work...and a fine way of saying it.
