[bodytext] => Too late to leave Caught in a nexus of your own making Too far gone to admit you were wrong The foundations of your might are quaking Feel the shudder of another bomb See the fireblast light the sky Realise the mistake you made All this death based on a lie It took ten thousand in Vietnam So it’s too early yet to admit the truth With Bush too arrogant to admit defeat How many deaths to take your youth? Kicking the top off the hornets nest Oh yes, a walk in the park! But now the hornets have turned on you And will turn your day to dark All the grand plans of a powerful land All the strategic gains They lie now as mere dust at your feet You’ve achieved NOTHING for your pains You were told and you were warned That there would be a price to pay You broke the law, you murdered the poor NOW comes the dreadful day When the price should be paid in full Not by Bush, NO, not by that idiot son But by your own children in that foreign land And by the hand of a poor man’s gun [comments] => 1 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 11 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
