Array ( [sid] => 71739 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => COLIN POWELL - NO TOMORROW? [time] => 2004-11-16 10:13:21 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Did Colin Powell do his best?
Or did he just lie like all the rest?
He seemed a man of principle
But he did the indefensible

Lying for your chief, is that bad?
Well, when others die it could be so
Should you always toe the line?
Don’t rock the boat or stop the flow?

Perhaps we expected too much of him
A Knight Errant who would be forever true
The UN speech was his lowest hour
Did he lie to himself when he lied to you?

SO many lies Colin
It was pathetic to see
A man of principle
Shorn of dignity

And now you leave us
And slink home to nurse your pain
You are lucky, the dead can’t do it
Your ambition proved insane

Because now, who can believe a word?
You licked the ass of Bushbrain absurd
You had our trust and **** us all
And now you feel so very small

So goodbye Colin, you sad failure
Go home to write your bio
Please read each and every sleazy lie
And think of your tomorrow

Very good! Well done!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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©
