[bodytext] => AMERICA & IRAQ ***Four Years Later*** “Wars, wars and rumors of wars,” Self destruction now a revolving door. Iraq is at war inside and out, Americans now have many doubts, Lead into war and blindly so, Believing the President ~ Not seeing ego, Four years now and no end in sight, Was this war wrong ~ Or was this war right, Wives and husbands ~ Moms and dads, Say to the government ~ Wars not a fad, Service men and women too, Have served their time ~ But still aren’t through, Russian roulette is now the game, America the Great ~ Brawn vs. brains, Death tolls rise and rise and rise again, Is this a war that one can win? Questions form and die in thought, Answers are not truly sought, Should troops stay or should they leave? A country destroyed ~ A country bereaved, Iraq has lost so very much, Iraqi vs. Iraqi ~ Their own personal touch, A government formed to no avail, Iraqi soil ~ Known as hell, But back in the U.S. of A., Democracy is supposed to win the day, Elections come and elections go, Representation is no longer so, Call your congressman and senators too, Relay your thoughts ~ See what they do, Chances are they will raise their pay, For phone calls and letters ~ Make longer days, What is this war truly about? Most believe “OIL” without a doubt, There are a few ~ Who just don’t know, If oil is the answer ~ Why do gas prices grow?
