And the dirtiest election
You have ever seen

John Kerry doesn't have
to work that way
But Bush does
He's HAD his day

What has happened to
American politics?
Why is it now
so very sick?

With a divisive liar
in command
It becomes easier to
understand

God, Guns and Gasoline
And the most corrupt president
You have ever seen

See Bush play politics
with your fear
To use against you
all you hold dear

This ugly man holds
no scruples fair
He will abuse you
without a care

In politics one rule
held above all
Anything to win,
make the other fall

Bush, Cheney, Powell
and Rice
Don't believe
they'll act so nice

A politician is a junkie
for the power
That runs through their veins
each strung-out hour

They live for that
and really no other
YOUR needs hardly matter
to these blood brothers

God, Guns and Gasoline
They'll use all three
with lies unseen

No lie is too sleazy
No ploy is too sick
In politics
They use every trick

You are expendable
Your nerves, your life
Sending sons to war
Cold-heart like a knife

Don't be fooled by Bush
He is coached to deceive
Each mannerism taught
to make you believe

He is thinking of you
but really he's not
His eye constantly scans
what votes he has got

Look carefully
at his weasely face
Look behind the stumbling
The lack of grace

Watch his manipulation
in ways cold and unclean
As he twists the truth to lies
God, Guns and Gasoline

"A politician is a junkie
for the power
That runs through their veins
each strung-out hour"

That's an inspiring four lines, Steel.
It makes me want to go write another politik- although perhaps it may not be war-driven.

I actually despair of politicians nowadays - and personally, I wouldn't put money against John Kerry or anyone in a position of power, where 'Junkie Justice' could be meted out - such as in Florida state, or the EU...

WOW, some poem you got there, but how come your critisizing Bush and leaving Kerry somewhere out there? If your going to critisize someone the critisize everyone, and if your going to say good point about someone then count and say good points for everyone.
And one more thing 'God, Guns and Gasoline' how can those three be possibly connected?

God Bless,
