[hometext] => So...why are the 'rat's' deserting the ship?
[bodytext] => Beneath heavens painted a dismal gray Where even the sun hides from the day Greasy smother presses the stifling air Muffling a final gasp below vacant stare An instant bred from history, without glory It's but only a minute in a timeless story The arrival, for some, the result of choice No, it's kismet, claims the others voice Greed-driven motives dressed in national beware Pushing a tale about something not really there Freedom's promise now fading with your breath Your moment emptied by dollars, deceipt, and death What does it matter if it's rhyme or reason Whether it was option or just fate's season The nazi's grandson and his wallet undeserving His purchased office is what your truly serving The dream-fed minutes swell until peace will be had You wait for after, strong, pround and costume-clad Charging headlong into some enigmatic unknown There's still love to be felt and plans to be grown Yet it doesn't matter whether you're alive or dead As long as there's gold in his bank, his lies spread For you and/or yours, he obviously doesn't care So...is he really worth dying for...over there Watering foriegn flowers with life clotting red Unearned trust has just left you alone and dead Your mother's anguished tears fill her sad day As the undertaker deposits remains cold and gray Error406=filecorrupt=config-earth--reboot universe (Y/N) [comments] => 2 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 41 [informant] => reprobate [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
