[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => Some ask for balance And that’s a good thing I’ll admit There’s good and bad in all of us It’s just how much of it George Bush is not evil In fact he could be a friend Let’s be nice and say he does his best And will do that ‘till the end... But has he got the right stuff The knowledge and the brain? Has he got the insight to really take the strain? I’m sure he can easily cope With issues black and white But when it gets more complex He struggles to get it right Let’s look at his decisions And some of what he said Because through his actions Many now are stone dead Whether you think he’s right or wrong The above is still a fact And they weren’t ALL bad folks That got wasted in Iraq I will say this he got it right In September 11’s wake He didn’t rush to war He spent the time to take A long hard look at what he should do There WAS some consultation I will admit that's true Afghanistan was hit Perhaps quite rightly But the Taliban were not al Qaeda The death count rises nightly The target of the Afghan attack is still around they say And last night another copter fell This war is STILL in play And then we come to Iraq And a catalogue of error No WMD, no Nukes, no Threat No link to global Terror The target was no longer al Qaeda Bush took his eye off the ball He created in place of a secular state An Islamic one is all More than that it’s a recruiting ground For al Qaeda and their friends For fifty years and even more We’ll never see the end Of all the trails to further fracture In a land already rent By Israel and Palestine More rage they will vent Is this protecting America? If so from what? Did Bush listen to biased voices In this trap so blindly caught? The whole world after 9/11 Were as one and agreed That America needed help And wished you all God Speed But observe what Bush in fact TRULY achieved The world AGAINST America and NEW innocents now are grieved Two wrongs don’t make a right And many more have died Sep 11 times ten perhaps Because some people lied Okay, on being balanced Let's say Bush did his best He really thought it would work out When he set out on this quest But as the boys come home Hurt and crazed and sad Listen to their stories You’ll see this thing was bad Wrongheaded and stupid From the very start In our complex world The head should rule the heart The thing he started may NEVER end And there really WAS a chance To hold the world consensus To end this terror dance But now that goodwill Is well and truly lost Bush let us down, one and ALL And who KNOWS what that will COST...

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. ©
