Our leaders are liars
They led us to war
With exaggerated “facts”
made emotions soar

To manipulate the public
To hate and fear
Our leaders are liars
And have cost us dear

They wanted a war
To destroy a whole land
Because it suited
Their greedy plan

To end an influence
Against their power
To get hands on oil
They planned the hour

They fed us lies
To get us to hate
Now it is being shown
‘Way too late

That our leaders are liars
And lied through their teeth
To begin a slaughter
Our contempt it’s beneath

These men are corrupt
And gloried in death
See them before you
As you take the next breath

That hundreds of children
Wont take again
Because of the actions
Of these evil men

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. Â©
