[bodytext] => Bush and his crew want you to agree That truth is all one way And only THEY can see They will tell you propaganda Is all on one side That they're so different With nothing to hide Now there was a time When we believed all this When the power Was all with them In their arrogance They abused this gift We children at their hem From a height they thought They could control the world Control media and message too Now in the information age This is no longer true Now the counter-opinion can be heard And the faults of THE POWER shown Now is the chance for us to grow up And make our minds up on our own The facts are now there For all to see The rights and wrongs and lies U.S. history down the years The spooks, the coups, the spies We can study the actions of arrogant men Who believed in abuse of power Guatemala, Nicoragua, Chile and many more Gaining knowledge by the hour No, they don’t like our new informed world They want others views to be blocked They got so used to controlling the flow And keeping this history locked And now they’ll try to twist your head And say there is only US We and we alone tell the truth Why make all this fuss? “We are your protectors, your shepherds too We only mean the best All others are evil, don’t listen to them Leave US to second guess!” But don’t believe their lying words It’s the last trick in their book The info sources are out of their hands And they don’t want you to look They’ll try to scare you into a docile herd They’ll try to shock you to obey They want you nice and pliable To heed only what THEY say But look beneath their patronizing smiles And their stern warnings of danger It was THEY who brought this mess to you To truth they are a stranger So always remember Be sure and LOOK At agendas on every side Politicians pretending strength Their weakness cannot hide Don’t let them reduce your world To the puerile and simplistic They want you as sheep Don't go the way of an abbatoir statistic Stand firm and confront them Tell the truth Keep your own counsel wise Make up your OWN mind And be not swayed For our integrity they despise No good will come of falling in line Or accepting their LATEST spin No paradise awaits within their gates Their morals are wafer thin They want back the times They could tell you lies And we would nod and obey They want back this power over you For our kids’ sake shout NO WAY!

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. ©
