[bodytext] => Dishonesty in politics It is the usual mix But the current crew Have duped many more of you They sold you lies Hand on heart They used your grief A war to start With no moral reason Just fabricated facts They proceeded to commit Unjustifiable acts 10,000 died in the attack And 10,000 have died since then Bush and Cheney told the lies They are the guilty men We all know about politics It is a dirty game But these men hit new lows And brought you all to shame And yet they crow Repeating lie on lie They can’t admit their fraud Even as Iraqis die They took an unhappy land And created an anarchy there Chaos rules Iraqi lives Bush really doesn’t care Except to fabricate more lies Saying everything is fine Faking pseudo sovereignty Lying right down the line There is no sovereignty Not in anything but a name This is just a façade An ugly political game To make the president seem Less than the schmuck he is To get your November votes Saying “There is no crisis…” Paper over the cracks Come the 30th of June Slap a bumper sticker Sing an anthem tune Pretend it’s a bright new day Let all the fanfares sound As 20,000 innocent Iraqis Lie stone cold in the ground [comments] => 2 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 41 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
