[bodytext] => Just who is fooling who? Did the US want Iran to co-operate? Or is it just a tactical move? Did Saddam go underground With a winnable war in view? In power politics and world affairs It can be hard to tell But when one side act like bears Intelligence goes to hell I know that sheer power can do a lot But remember old Kung Fu “Use their strength against them” Is the smarter thing to do If you go bull-headed into the ring And simply use sheer force Your enemy will take a look And stick your rear of course And alienating friends, what’s that about? Is that really clever? Or don’t you simply delay success Perhaps even forever? If Bush and Co had any sense They would bring all sides together Not simply use fear and threats In every kind of weather They look like bears and brainless drones Take Rumsfeld for one Is this the kind of smarts we need Behind the barrel of a gun? And Bush...? Well, it’s pretty clear Is it truly not? That such a sad dumb hick Belongs back in his cot? Perhaps the best we can hope Is the world is of stronger stuff That it will just stagger on And eventually shrug them off No political creed lasts forever They sow the seeds of their own demise And what’s left of their reputation Will be for history to despise [comments] => 1 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
