"...he is 'the decider'..."


Poem Artwork

Little Big Man

 

I sing of Little Big Man and you know who I mean

Our false unworthy emperor of what might have been

On whose mad unreasoning the earth is forced to hang

Mispronouncing grave pronouncements in his tangled twang

 

And if we disagree we are "fascists" you and me

Disloyal to royal and imperial decree

Freedom of speech is relative now as we have seen

Completely unrelated to the Bush family

Democracy seems to be a matter of degree

Good for Iraq but back at home he is not so sure

Especially if our politics are deemed impure

 

As democracy devolves into theocracy

We evolve into "the enemy" it seems to me

 

But he is "the decider" and only he knows best

In his brave new world only Little Big Man is free

To say and do what he pleases never mind the rest

Of what is left of what we once called "humanity"

We all must write the truth how we feel it and your opinion, like mine and like Phillip's below may not always correspond but we are entitled to write what we as individuals believe. Good write.

Though stating that we've had no other 9-11 since going into Iraq would alter the opinions of those whose own political agendas need to be brought to the forefront. I will say that as an American citizen, neither you or any of us commoners could ever begin to grasp the realities of the world we face. Our President is in a position that always places him in the sights of those who are blind to reality, seeking their own gains or just plain aggitators. I see the hundreds of our troops who have died believing in him, and in our democracy. These troops volunteered out of honor and respect for our countries democracy, and ideas. Though this is many, it pales to just one major terrorist attack and the death or monitary loss it causes. Though I don't often agree with many of the moves our presidents have made, I do respect the person who holds the office. If you held but an ounce of the responsibility he carries on his shoulders, you would more than likely collapse from the load as most of us would. Freedom of speach allows one to post indifferance towards our President. Will freedom of speach allow this comment to be left intact? If not then there are other forces seeking to control the freedom of speach, and it's not our President. As a law abiding citizen I could care less if my life or key frases that I use may be monitored to insure the safety of those I love. Only those with criminal intent, or federalphobics would fight this option to save lives.

There are a lot of truths in this write. I'm not sure Little Big Man is appropriate. Maybe Big Little man, or Man with little mind.
Trust God for there are few left on Earth to trust.
God Bless,
Lew

The world is indeed in a sad state of affairs when it comes to this, my friend. Sometimes, thinking about it all, I get truly depressed. Love, peace, and strength to you,
