"How can we lose with God on our side?"
Wrap Old Glory round me, boys,
wrap it good and tight.
God protect America,
for America is right,
and we will spread democracy
by all means, come what might.
God has spoken to me
and pointed out the way:
the world must listen to me now
and mark the words I say,
for the only road to righteousness
is built in the USA.
Our military will reign supreme,
I have it from on high,
and avenging angels smite with fire
and lightning from the sky--
anyone who opposes it
well deserves to die.
Democracy's not what we do,
it's merely what we say,
and what we say is good enough
for all the world to pay
homage to America--if not,
they'll rue the day!
God bless the oil, God bless the power
of privelege and wealth.
God bless the might of Mammon,
and from the White House--good health!

Hmmmm ....
you certainly do have the right idea. Privilege is misspelled in the last stanza. I do not like your last line. It's far too flippant for the rest of this, which is deadly serious although you've attempted to make it flippant. Bush doesn't wish good health to any of us, but only to his rich friends and owners. Where do you suppose you are on his "lock up" list when he and if he manages to declare martial law? I see Hoover had a lock up list, but there was a Democrat in the White House and he couldn't implement it. I am sure Cheney has one too. Probably Bush does as well. They are certainly a sick bunch.

I like the rhythm of this piece which encourages us to read on. There's a satirical tone to it which makes it even scarier, I think. And unfortunately, there is truth in it. Good luck with the contest.

Outstanding -- Reflects a True Attitude
Yessir. I salute this poem. It is inspired by our great leader: No Mistakes Bush.

Hope this is satire... President Rash is on the top of things that make me want to vomit.
Your rhyme is great and I enjoyed this read. Best of luck in the contest.

Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself
Hey - the rhyme and the flow are great - this should be your new national anthem - not really - you certainly hit the nail right on the head here - you need a new direction in your land - righteousness can not be administered out of the barrel of a gun - Bless God - Joe

God Bless ...
the next president who will have to step into these muddy boots ... God bless those citizens, who are now feeling homeless and looking for a vacant planet! One where they can align themselves with what WAS right before the wrong make us suspect to say, "born in the USA!" I can appreciate why you shared this poem and I'm over here hiding my head! joy
