So did you vote for Bush?
Have Americans been Bushwacked? YES - YES - YES


Poem Artwork

War Reality 2004

Flag Drapped Caskets
Guarded - Out of Site!
Wounded Soldiers Hospitalized
Limb-less from the US Plight!

No Discussion of Tragic Deaths
No Reality of the Iraq Mess
Soldiers are Martyrs for the USA
More Die, Get Wounded or
Captured Each Day!

Sneaky Savages Lurk Around
Foreign Garb, Foreign Tongue
Decked in Bombs or Underground
Sitting Ducks will succumb!

How much US blood must be shed
Before America gets it in their head
This useless war
Will never end !

If you voted for Bush - shame on you.
Did you vote for Bush and your child is a soldier? God Forbid!

In the mess hall they were slaughtered
in peace eating lunch
Then just another Arab crept into the bunch
A human bomb blew up the soldiers
without a hunch.

I totally agree that we will be in this for a very long time, for the world is changing its cycle once again and often it leaves many hungry and cold. Millions without homes and hundreds of millions without life. A very moving write.

Yes America has been Bushwacked. We were lied to from the start. No weapons of mass destruction or ties to terrorism have been found, probably because they never existed. As long as the current administration is in power, America is stuck a senseless situation. As Larry said we were told Iraq over and over again until we believed it. Trouble is, some still believe it and won't remove there head from the sand.

lets hope this does not turn into Americas' Northern Ireland...fancy having that scenario on your plate for thirty years or more.....
never the suits suffer..only the uniforms..
You have enough bushwhacking at home to contend with....lets hope this ends soon......a powerful piece here Karen...
