Array ( [sid] => 20857 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => JESSICA LYNCH - FREEDOM BELLE [time] => 2003-07-23 21:05:00 [hometext] => "George Orwell is alive and well. But the truth is dead." [bodytext] => When the liars are in the majority
Then who REALLY knows the truth?
When PR teams jump on every scene
A reader must be a sleuth

Take Jessica Lynch—a PR coup
The truth was more than tweaked
They saw a chance to hoodwink you
Until the truth was leaked

She fired on Iraqis, was stabbed and shot
But it's revealed now that these “truths” were NOT
She was given the best of care
Iraqi “fiends” took her for help and aid
No armed guards were around
Just doctors standing there

When the great “heroes” rushed in
Scaring the hell out of the sick
Screaming and yelling
Like a bunch of prick$
Just like sad Schwarzenegger clones
Making movies for the drones

You are now primed and conditioned
To ACCEPT ALL their little lies
Now your morality is corrupt
They can sell you everything that flies

When the government reflects reality
Take your pinch of salt
You think they tell the truth?
It’s just another assault
On hearts and minds to win the war
Where THEY decide what’s right and wrong
And they TELL you what it’s for

You are ALL 'safe' in Hollywood now!
Get out the flags, come wave and sing
All fools together in a fantasy world
Don't you hear that “freedom” bell ring??? [comments] => 1 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
