An African ruler just sitting by, watching his country’s women cry
The tribal god commands he send their men to fight and die
For food the children plead, westerners rush to meet this need
Only for their aid to disappear into a black hole of greed
The IRA’s pretence at charm, whilst steadfastly refusing to disarm
Needing guns to guard the drug on its journey to a user’s arm
They fought a religious war, neither side accepting a honourable draw
No longer blood, its money and power they now crave the more
English eyes no longer vacant stare, just another damn bomb scare
Increased frequency follows a totally misguided Tony Blair
Was such a mad rush, there was this evil dictator to crush
Claims our superhero, the equally injudicious President Bush
Mullahs’ carefully selected youth, shown uncontroversial proof
Well! At least the religious man’s tainted version of the truth
Sent to camps to gain the skill, and to learn which enemy to kill
All this hatred, masked behind the banner of a god’s will
For whichever deity acts as guide, throughout history man has tried
To take the life of those who disbelieve, all done with stupid pride
For Pagan gods we killed first, Christian enemies faired much worse
Now it is the time for Islam’s infidels turn to catch the hearse
Forget your mythical soul, I see that gods have but one role
And that is nothing more than simple population control
David, as long as Iraq sits on the world's oil supply, Mr. Bush will be blinded to the death and destruction he has unleashed in order to obtain it. In his zeal, he must have forgotten that word "covet" in the 10 Commandments... of course, I'm making a leap, assuming that he has actually ever read them. They made little impression, if he did. I admire your courageous and very honest commentary here. katy xox.
Welcome back!!
