Array ( [sid] => 52177 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => AMERICA WITHOUT A FRIEND [time] => 2004-06-16 05:37:17 [hometext] => [bodytext] => An exercise in ugliness
From beginning to end
Leaves America now
Without a friend

A few dumb clucks
Were found in charge
America was attacked
The responsibility large

Totally inadequate
They panicked and flew
Into the arms of hawks
And the damage just grew

Running in the wrong direction
They justified deceit
And in the end laid the groundwork
For their own defeat

A sorrier crew
Would be hard to find
Stupid, misguided
And terminally blind

The deaths of thousands
Lie on their hands
As these fools postured
And made their demands

An exercise in ugliness
From beginning to end
Leaves America now
Without a friend

AMERICA WITHOUT A FRIEND

Ever give any thought to publishing a book of these.

You seem to have a grasp of what many American's think but may be too afraid to say in public.

good poem my friend good to see you back on the 'right' track I loved this as usual, but I think that has ceased to be surprising.
