Array ( [sid] => 45359 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => THIS ETERNAL FEAR [time] => 2004-04-29 03:39:21 [hometext] => [bodytext] => It begins with misinformation

The decision had been made
Now they needed justification
Any lies would do, any plausible creation
Any convenient anecdote
Some lies to fool a nation

All this led to extermination
To 10,000 innocent deaths
And so much destruction
And the answer was:
More lies, more fabrication

In the White House sits an arrogant fool
A dupe at times - at others so cruel
A man with a only a bone for a brain
Uninterested in the facts
No wit to explain

This was about gut instinct
No rules were followed here
Cheney and the other ranting fools
Played their part in the fear
To simply disregard sense and law
So arrogant it’s clear

They ignored wise counsel
And rammed on ahead
This mess could have been avoided
And so many would not be dead

It started with misinformation
Lie upon lie upon lie
And led to extermination
10,000 innocents who died
It caused so much destruction
The already miserable cried
Now begins endless confrontation
That will cause hardest heart to sigh

Yes it started with misinformation
They fooled you all don’t you see?
There WAS no consensus for action
No debate open and free
No consultation with wise counsel
Only the few with gut instinct
Decided for you and me

It started with misinformation
So dishonest and so sly
They overturned our safeguards
To justify their lie
Now we see the tortured result
And we will for year on year
Through arrogance they brought us

To this eternal fear [comments] => 2 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Eternal fear. Imposing write, Steel.
I'd like you to turn your attention to the Blind Man one day. I've done him before, but I think you could do a better job, now that he's actually introduced the bane of all citizens - and taken out Orwellian Doom Insurance, with the National (compulsory) ID Card . . . amongst other Blind Policy statements.
*sigh*
