[hometext] => "Okay, we are being embarassed on this WMD thing. Our people in Iraq are telling us they wont be found. We have to move public perception away from the lies we had to tell to get this regime change effected. So we must emphasise that we WERE right to do this for regime change alone. Okay that was against the law - so get the LAW changed. The UN law that forbids this is antiquated. We must change the public perception from our wrongness to our rightness. And then change the UN rules to allow us to do this again in future and WITH the veil of respectability we tried and failed to get LAST time!"
[bodytext] => Now we’re hearing the game plan Change the rules to change the world Make it legal for pre-emptive strike at the UN But only if it’s by US But number one is changing perception To change the focus of public deception “We can’t win the argument on WMDs Our people in Iraq say on bended knees We just can’t find any trace Change tack or you'll lose face.” So the game is now to say what we did was right That for REGIME CHANGE change alone we fought That we had to play by the old UN rules And say it was about WMDs for those fools Bush & Blair think this is as bad as it can get With the tactic of “imminent threat” It was the only legal way to start the war But now it's got politically sore So move attention AWAY from that They can only say what we did was illegal And they've pointed that out each day We must say that was a mere technicality We did RIGHT so change the LAW! Allow regime change to be a legitimate goal If sanctioned by US at the UN The political focus needs to change its role Allow us to rearrange the world Let US rule the world And give the bad guys a muderous fight Don’t you know it yet? WE'RE ALWAYS 'RIGHT'!!! O? Watch them begin to change your perception Using the ugly skills of political deception They are now in another phase To win a POLITICAL war at home The focus on their lies they do not like Their lies are shown and make them moan They must shift the focus To pretend to be right That it was good what they did To slaughter and fight 'Yes, we had to say it was for other reasons You know that’s just the political seasons We had to do it and we found a way And yes we SEE your sad dismay.' 'But we did the thing that had to be done Though we broke the law to do it Our answer now is to CHANGE THE LAW That way WE will get through it!' Watch them now as they speak less often Of the imminent threat Watch as the focus begins to change And alter, merge and soften They have looked at this and devised the words To dupe us all again These parasites and sychophants Are such dishonest men This is the patronizing prerogative They see themselves as judge and jury Executioner too They see themselves above the law And they're looking down on...

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. ©
