[hometext] => Why is the Bush administration paying journalists to lie for them?
[bodytext] => Please view image before reading verses: http://www.geocities.com/kaneix/liarbush2.jpg -o- Third Journalist Was Paid to Promote Bush Policies The New York Times - January 29, 2005 WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 - The Bush administration acknowledged on Friday that it had paid a third conservative commentator, and at least two departments said they were conducting internal inquiries to see if other journalists were under government contract. The investigative arm of Congress also formally began an inquiry of its own. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/29/politics/29column.html --O//-- This corruption called Bush Do you get it yet? Do you give a damn? Amongst all the “patriotic” blather He’s promoting a scam You REALLY think he’s good? Such a great hero? Oh man take the blinkers off He is such a zero No, it’s much worse than that The man’s a liability With no scruples at all For illegality The corruption called Bush You saw him right at first As he went on vacation As his popularity bust The man is a cow And fear is the milk That’s all you’ll get From his and his ilk Fear and Lies Lies and Fear That’s all you’ll get That’s all you’ll hear Oh there’ll be words said Like “Democracy” and “Freedom” But that’s more of his lies To extend his fiefdom Into your heads Where the brainwashing is done As he leads you to slaughter And hands YOU the gun --O//-- This Eternal Fear It begins with misinformation The decision had been made Now they needed justification Any lies would do, any plausible creation Any convenient anecdote Some lies to fool a nation All this led to extermination To 100,000 innocent deaths And so much destruction And the answer was: More lies, more fabrication In the White House sits an arrogant fool A dupe at times - at others cruel A man with a only a bone for a brain Uninterested in facts No wit to explain This was about gut instinct No rules were followed here Cheney and the other ranting fools Played their part in the fear To simply disregard sense and law So arrogant it’s clear They ignored wise counsel And rammed on ahead This mess could have been avoided And so many would not be dead It started with misinformation Lie upon lie upon lie And led to extermination 100,000 innocents who died It caused so much destruction The already miserable cried Now begins endless confrontation That will cause hardest heart to sigh Yes it started with misinformation They fooled you all don’t you see? There WAS no consensus for action No debate open and free No consultation with wise counsel Only the few with gut instinct Decided for you and me It started with misinformation So dishonest and so sly They overturned our safeguards To justify their lie Now we see the tortured result And we will for year on year Through arrogance they brought us To this eternal fear --O//-- [comments] => 0 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 28 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )

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. ©
