You probably know It's all just a pretence It's all just for show They hide behind words They don't mean what they say Hiding their thoughts In a cruel shadow play They look for power In any brutal way To spread their influence They work night and day Our leaders are liars They think we are fools Hypocrisy's their watchword They've sold their sad souls A death means nothing To their cold hearts Cold steel is their friend To rip lives apart To them it's the same If you're friend or foe They tell lies to all Not caring who they snow Our leaders are liars Each and every one They use slimy methods To get the deed done He say's he's a Christian He says he's good and true But in truth he's just a liar His principles are few How CAN a Christian talk Of the need for war Where is 'Thou shalt not kill'? It's not what HE stands for He acts so very holy But I know you can see It's all just a pretence Sheer hypocrisy Our leaders are liars We must let them know We see through their games We want them to go No reeking contracts With oil men who stink No devil's bargain With blood as the ink No ugly Amerikan Ruling the whole world No scythe to sweep down On each boy and girl Our leaders are liars And think only of self Pathetic politicians Who seek only wealth End their sad story And bring them to earth Leave them in power Leaves us walking to death Change is not something They are able to do We must now remove them It's now up to YOU [comments] => 5 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 8 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
