Politicians

Now politicians piss me off
They know not what they say
They give strength to the enemy
To them it’s just word play

But to us it’s not play
We live with what they say
So piss insurgents off if you must
It’s not you that they will slay

Give them your support
Tell them that we’re bad
Kill another soldier
Hell you might just start a fad

Now we’ll face the punishment
For the things we’ve done
Everything you’ve asked of us
Until this war is won

    Cool

    Those are chilling emotions. I appreciate what you and so many others are doing over there. These same politicians will of course photo op with you and your company to get reelected then turn around and sell you down the river. Thank you for your service to our country.

    Excellent Writing

    You are a very good poet. Of course what you write from over there means more to us than anything else here in this site. I'm adding you to my favorites list. What kind of Network do you work with? --Ellis

    Damn... the government is so messed up... none of the politicans cares about the soldiers they're sending into the war... the the families... or even the innocent who die everyday... greed is what's driving these politicans... who will ever know when this war will truly end... & it sucks but look at the cost of all the lives that are lost & will continue to be lost.

    It is stunningly hard to believe what American politicians on the Left have become and how jaundiced the Press shows its obvious hatred toward sense and decency. I'm appalled by the arrogance and lack of respect shown by both.
