Timbuktu

Has our government returned home yet? I think they were in Timbuktu when Wall St got ripped off. And how intelligent do you have to be when a father rats out his terrorist son. What got me was, the terrorist was a brother. All my life here in America black men seem to get profiled and watched big time. The fact that this brother wasn't watched and profiled after his father ratted him out baffles me. Maybe I've been on vacation in Timbuktu. I guess if my black butt would have been on flight 253 I would have been blown to Timbuktu.


Poem Artwork

A terrorists father ratted out
his own son of extreme
It seems his son wanted to
join the terror team
Great Britain cancelled his visa
but America took him as a teaser

Flight 253 took to the air
the terrorist son was right there
On Christmas day
he tried to blow the plane away
His attempt failed
the young terrorist was nailed

Our government failed to connect
the dots of intelligence too
After the failed attempt the government
returned from Timbuktu
It seems they have been way out
in quite a few national affairs
They're either gone or asleep
in their high chairs
Maybe the crooks and terrorist should
shoot up flairs
or be removed from their
governmental chairs

It was our elite "FBI" who is supposed to keep track of him
the problem with them is that they are overly educated
and short on common sense.....
you need some sort of degree to become
one of their "Elite Agents"....
just check in your brain when you enter
the "FBI Academy", you wont be needing it.........
Peace brother
