[hometext] => It's an election year, our chance to oust the tyrant King George and his cronnies.....
[bodytext] => ________________________________ I remember the chant from way back then Hell no we won't go And I long to hear it again Tell the war machine your answer's no I won't die for the rich mans oil I won't kill to make rich men richer I want a job with benefits A place to make a better life I want my kids to have a chance I remember when all this was a promise Policticians come and go in cycles With their promises more like lies The homeless man just wants a job The elderly are forced to make a choice To pay the rent or buy their meds The young are struggling in debt The rich are laughing up their sleeve While they get tax breaks from DC Vote they say and you'll be counted But we saw how that all works With hanging chads we were discounted And the Bush King he was crowned We sit like sheep, complacement Because he sent us all a check Poor old Saddam is but a clown When compared to our King George Who has more weapons, power and money Than any other ruler on the planet Republicans are a rich man's friend They take from the poor and give to the rich Tell all the politicians with your vote You're sick and tired of their crap We want peace, jobs, healthcare, education, social security, clean air, safer streets, and we're sick and tired of their bull***** Make this election year a resounding song Of freedom and power to the people [comments] => 2 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Merry [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

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. ©
